“Bruh at this point the only left wing sub left not overrun by tankies is r/neoliberal“
I thought I couldn’t see worse than I’ve already seen on Reddit and yet there it is
“A spectre is haunting reddit”
Tankie is whatever political tendency I don’t like. No I won’t be taking any questions.
Excuse me, the preferred nomenclature is “people of tank”.
I entirely blame the stupid political compass for shit like this.
