Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.
A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

Writing many and complex words to sound more "intelectual" won't make your take any less shitty
Using simple words and short sentences is good for upvotes, but I don't trust such comments.
Absolutely. Using verbose sentences can more fully demonstrate the level of douche you are.
Or maybe it's a way to condense ideas, which is literally the opposite of what you did (your comment would have been reduced to a line)
Trust for you is based off of how grandiloquent one can be. With opinions like yours, that tracks.
