It’s not fun interacting with them when they often want to engage in ad hominems. This is why I have no interest in the tankie triad.

A large number of MLs assert that they’re only being called tankies because everyone else is a shitlib who can’t handle anyone left of Pelosi.
I mean yes, but even then what they’re saying isn’t that they’re not tankies, but that we’re just shitlibs who can’t handle Real Leftism™. Like, MLs don’t say “yeah tankies are insane, but I’m not that;” they say “there’s nothing such as a tankie you shitlib,” so while they do reject the label because it’s derogatory they don’t really contest the meat of it. If “tankie” didn’t have a negative connotation they’d be wearing it proudly.
