The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of "left solidarity"

They shouldn't have a voice anywhere and they should be demonized and persecuted just like right-wingers.
The only thing I hate as much as a flag-waving Trump troglodyte is anyone that has even a passing positive remark about China or Russia. They are geopolitical enemies. To me, solidarity with them marks you as either an enemy or a traitor.
