Political Memes

And they're "libs" because you say so, because they don't pass your purity test.

Fallacious as fuck.

Are you surprised then? There's a disproportionate number of tankies on Lemmy relative to anywhere else and they have a habit of poor yet aggressive argumentation. For libs who are ignorant of political ideologies and encounter tankies for the first time here they usually have no idea that tankies aren't actually communists or socialists or leftists. They don't know what leftists really are and so tankies become the stereotype for them. If you keep encountering assholes who tell you they are leftists you're going to think that all leftists are assholes. I think that's gone on enough here now that the reputation of tankies gets turned into a broad brush and perhaps gets applied inaccurately to actual leftists. You can blame libs for being ignorant but its understandable given the context here.
