Using alt-right terminology should get you disqualified from any reasonable conversation.

What, the term “tankie”? A term coined within the Communist Party of Great Britain? The CPGP is alt-right, now?

Calling the term “alt-right” is just a quick way of telling me you’re a tankie without telling me you’re a tankie.

Oh. “wokescold” is another possibility but that’s rather unlikely, while the right has appropriated “woke” I’ve never heard them use “wokescold” which is precisely used by people who know and understand the original meaning and simply want to call out certain problematic behaviours done in the name of, but not to the benefit of, wokeness.

Don’t fucking bullshit me, we both know that I was referring to wokescold. Tankie is a horrible fucking word but it way predates the alt-right.

I’ll just quote Zena+Poppy on the term. You may not like it, you might prefer clinical analytical language such as “puritanical progressive” or whatever, but from the context I used it in (making direct reference to social dynamics) it should be obvious that I used it in that sense.

And, no, tankie is not a “horrible fucking word”. It is precise and succinct, also, tankies hate it.
