I do not like tankies but I have absolutely never experienced this, all tankies typically want to do is discuss theory and history to the point that it's exhausting. Have you talked to any Trotskyists??

It’s way more present since Hexbear federated in, every first impression is that it’s an alt-right troll farm.

I literally never got this impression, it's like extraordinarily clear that Hexbear is a leftist instance. From the pronouns in names to the leftist jokes lol.

^^ This guy is a tankie. The fact he's using the term Trotskyists unironically proves this. Literally no one else except tankies does this.

LMAOOO WHAT?? I'm just using the term they use for themselves.

I ran into a group of Trotskyists once and it turned out they were absurdly boring and wanted me to grab coffee with them for weeks on end before they'd tell me anything, and they apparently read a metric fuckton of theory. So now I know the word Trotskyist. But I guess that makes me a tankie 🤷

you use a real word

correctly use the historically/globally understood meanings of words

"mm no that's made up tankie nonesense"

This is at least the fourth time I've seen lemmitors do this. Righteously indignant about not knowing things.
