    post summary:

    ‘tankies bad, i’m not a tankie, anyone who disagrees with me is a tankie’

    hate to break it to you but liberals learned a new word and it’s just a left-facing pejorative now.

      ^ that, friends is what we call a “bad-faith argument” based on a distorted interpretation of what was actually said, utilizing flashy one-liners to deride a commenter without actually addressing any of the content of the comment they made.

        it’s called paraphrasing, you wanted to make it very clear that you’re one of the good ones for the liberals, as opposed to tankies who are the bad ones. i don’t think i misrepresented you.

        the term is literally a left facing pejorative the way it’s used, especially how you were using it.
