What is a tankie?

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.

    You can simultaneously be in both chambers, that’s the nice thing about federation

    Not if they ban you for asking the most basic of questions about moderation, or for having a different opinion.

    Banning people for having different opinions is bad.

      In my experience, “just asking questions” is never just asking questions, but I suppose that’s me presuming guilt

      I’ve asked plenty of questions there and have never had a run in with their mods. I have to assume the question was insulting or disingenuous, or both.

      But hey you can always make an account elsewhere and try again under better circumstances
