The average lib who uses tankie has no idea of its origins, and it’s origins are now so irrelevant as it has nothing to do with the groups that are labeled. Only liberals bring up the Hungary thing instead of discussing how the term is used in modern context

So you think it will just never be used in mainstream media like I was saying?

probably not, it's too online and embarrassing an they've already built up enough propaganda around "communist" and "authoritarian" to drop those terms. Mainstream Liberals love being taken seriously. It's only online they will lower themselves.

They are spewing false claim after false claim when they are easily verified as being incorrect. It's hard to take such seriously, but at the same time so long as they repeat it over and over confidently, their base eat it up. I suppose that happens with everything though. I hope you have a good day Z. I need to find something constructive around the house to throw myself into.
