I don’t call all communists tankies. Only the tankies.
This reeks of “I’m not calling all Black/Asian/Muslim people Slur/Pejorative just those who don’t fit what I think the good ones should look like” rightwing nonsense.
But it’s not, you see, because tankies call themselves tankies, and it’s a voluntary political designation besides.
Is calling fundamentalists “fundies” a slur?
Is calling Republicans “elephants” a slur? Democratic “donkeys” a slur?
What about the term “Dems?”, is that a slur? “Rs”?
It reeks of it only because they are using single words to describe a multi-layered something for the sake of brevity. It’s a pronoun. You are against pronouns.
Well, at least it saves us a lot of time when you skip straight to the name-calling phase.
You would think so!
You guys are so boring and your faux-highmindedness falls flat when none of you ever stop calling communists “tankies”

You don’t know what any of those words mean.
