    The one downside of hexbear being back is that I’m gonna see the word “tankie” a lot again. I’m so sick of it. I was sick of seeing it a year or two ago I’m sick of it now and will always be sick of it.

    All words are made up but tankie just makes me think, go the fuck outside and touch grass

      I mean the word works, fits and is descriptive. Do you have another word for people who fit the criteria?

      Maybe privileged-ignorant-authoritarian-self-proclaimed-leftist might fit if it wasn’t so long.

      Maybe going with German might work. Privilegiertunwissendautoritärselbsternannterlinker?

      Would touching grass make us forget history?

      I suppose intellectuals are dangerous counterrevolutionaries. As Lenin once said, after all, the educated classes are the ‘shit’ of the nation, not its brains. “No mercy for these enemies of the people, the enemies of socialism, the enemies of the working people! War to the death against the rich and their hangers-on, the bourgeois intellectuals!”

      I missed them being back. Last thing I knew people were driving up the price of the domain. Can anybody fill me in?
