The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of “left solidarity”

    the funny thing is that “tankies” is a term from 1950s Communist Party of Great Britain members arguing over whether or not it was correct for Khruschev to invade Hungary… because the Hungarians were having a “revolution” in which the CIA was funneling money to nazis.

        Yeah u rite, the smart thing to do would have been to just let them continue going around marking the doors of Jewish people for extermination, I’m sure they would have all worked it out amongst themselves.
