This makes sense.

I do think "tankie" is the wrong word, as "bootlicker" sounds more apt since Russia hasn't been communist since '91.

As in, these devs are definitely authoritarian, but communist? Absolutely not.

Good to know, I totally thought it was a pejorative term for people who supported Kruschev's use of tanks, and I rarely see people talking about that so I was very confused.

Note: this comment is dripping with sarcasm

At this point I'm not sure if they are tankies, or whether they've just been called tankies by people who call all leftists tankies.

That's because a conservative woman is the definition of a fucking "pick me"

Talk about ingratiating yourself to your oppressor. Jfc she's such a fuckin idiot.

I very met some very mature Gen Z! They just happen to be the ones that don't spend a lot of time on social media haha

And this is why my millennial D&D group invites zoomers to join us, no better way to bridge that gap!

Aight dude

I definitely saw several comments that strike me as political, which is exactly my point, everyone has a different definition.

When every aspect of your life is affected by politics, everything is political.

100%

Internet by the people, and for the people, truly.

The problem is politics impacts everything and the word "political" means different things to different people.

To some, talking about being gay is political, even though to people who are in that community, it's literally just talking about their lives.

If you allow wolves and sheep into a space, that is a wolves-only space.

(For context, I agree with you.)

Sure, if you think of it as purely semantic, or a zero sum game with no nuance, but it's not.

Gotta be intolerant of those being needlessly cruel to those just trying to live their lives, and gotta be tolerant of those just trying to live their lives that don't affect you, even if you find it cringey.
