Ok. I'm new here. What's a tankie
Edit: tysm everyone for the answers
People that Stan authoritarian countries. The term comes from when the USSR crushed liberation movements with tanks in the Republics and many western communists approved of the crushing. People who love China, Russia, Assad’s Syria, etc are tankies.
Makes sense. Tyvm
People who are obsessed with tanks
Panzer IV my beloved
No you’re thinking of Acoustic people
Sounds right
Freshwater or salt?
Ah that's me

Just avoid the Tankie Triad (.ml, hex and grad) and you'll be fine
I think hexbear.net is expired, so hexbear straight up isn't an option atm.
EDIT: it's back up, as cm0002 pointed out.
Nah the domain admin (unfortunately) eventually showed up and reclaimed it before the auction could complete. It's been restored and they actually added additional admins to the domain console this time :(
I stand corrected. Comment edited.
Corpo speak for communist originally, but now just used for most left-leaning people. Sucks though because I used it endearingly and now it's used for center-left people who are far from communist :(
