Tankies.

You can't have a discussion about anything without some tankie blaming it on Ukrainians / the west / capitalism, etc.

"Oh you stubbed your toe on the table? See, tables are oppressive furniture of the bourgeoisie. The Chinese government wanted to make all tables toe-stubbing resistent, but that would affect IKEA's bottom line and the pharmaceutical industry's profits. I have a source from tankiepeoplesmagazine to back this up."

What’s equally annoying is people who won’t shut up about “tankies.”

Honestly, everyone across this argument sucks. But I wold like to point out, that not a single “tankie” has complained about anything in the comments here.

You, however….

this is a thread specifically for complaining about stuff you don't like.

don't be so butthurt about it.

Buttthurt? Don’t think you know me that well kiddo.

I was simply pointing out the irony. I couldn’t care less about either side of the argument.
