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"

I don't think I've ever seen a mainstream right wing talking head say "tankie" and frankly I'd be impressed if they even admitted they knew the difference between the various factions of the left instead of grouping them all together. Seriously, "liberal" and "Marxist" are completely interchangeable in right rhetoric.
