Nice Latin, but not relevant here

Tankie is a slang term for autocratic communist

Autocracy is not a legitimate form of government

So autocratic propaganda is not just a "different political stance"

tankie is a term imbeciles use to signal group membership to other imbeciles

Unnecessarily aggressive, but yes that is what characteristics are? It also has a meaning of what that group actually is

pretty funny that somebody running around calling people tankies would moan about people being unnecessarily aggressive

Are you mad about it because you identify as auth-right and don't like the term tankie?

Or because you identify as a tankie and don't like thinking about the fact it's auth-right?

You sound so sophisticated throwing your political compass terms around
