    Interesting because anti-fascists actually exist in real life and will deliver beat downs on nazis at far right gatherings whereas tankies only shit post on the internet.

      I mean, that’s kinda true and “tankies” is a really useless term, but what % of those anti-fascists hold beliefs that would get them called tankies in most online political spaces? How many self identify?

          Well sorry man but it just irritates me when people go online and try to paint ML movements as a bunch of wienery keyboard wussies when that’s absolutely not how it is, we are the most violently opposed to nazi movements and literally the only groups who actually do anything useful about them. And far more of us are construction guys who train than you’re giving us credit for. Just remember that the next time you go to a punk or metal show and there’s no nazis there, you’re welcome.

          Oh don’t worry, I ain’t stopping on anyone’s account. I made some move out of the neighborhood last year, much to the protestation of my wife for worry that they would start vandalizing our house or something if I kept threatening them. But they were cowards because they’re Nazi goofs and moved away instead.

          But generally the nazis don’t come to the bars or shows me or my buddies go to anymore because we have a zero tolerance policy for them and we aren’t afraid of a fight.
