brave to post CSPAM lulz in cspam itself. anyway this thread is pointless because almost every American poster on this website, occasionally even including me, will reflexively parrot some anti communist bullshit. pick nearly any thread on this website about politics and it will be this.

The real question is if tanks are still relevant in an era of ubiquitous drone use.

We've seen tanks clowned on in Syria and Yemen against irregular forces, but I think there was an assumption that there was still a role for tanks in wars between state powers.

the historical meaning was (correct me if I'm wrong) people who thought the Soviet Union was justified in sending the tanks in to crush the prauge spring and other eastern European uprisings. it can be a broader question about the role of intranational socialist states against what they perceive as counter revolutionary nationalism, reactionary liberalism, etc in their vassal states. it pretty quickly was diluted into something said against Stalinists and then Maoists and so forth until now it is so broad it is kind of useless. "someone who is both comically more radical than me and bad" is close I guess? it's really most amusing watching anarchists grow increasingly aware of the fact it is terminology they share within the most hardcore liberals and reactionaries, lol.

swear to loving Christ before I stopped posting in DnD someone demanded I quote a loyalty oath about the uyghurs in China explicitly stating it was a genocide to "prove" I wasn't a tankie, which is for real one of the craziest loving things that has happened to me in the near 2 decades I've been here.
