So you DO understand why I explained you my reasoning for criticising the word “tankie” used as a left-punching slur, and you’re just playing dumb instead of engaging with anything I said.
I engaged with what you said, I said I dont think it’s right to base whether something is a slur based on the root meaning of the word. I think that’s incorrect and a little ridiculous.

Which is why I proceeded to explain you the history of repression and discrimination of communists in western societies.
What does that have to do with whether tank being a weapon causes a word to be more oppressive or not?
Then ignore the etymology and focus on the historical facts, what do you have to say about them?
