I once described to a liberal friend a dream I had about commandeering a tank, spray-painting the name “Autistic Saudade” on the side, and using it to disperse a neo-nazi rally meant to intimidate refugees and immigrants from “undesirable” countries. My friend said that I “went full tankie on them” and expressed that he was “glad that [I] wasn’t a tankie”.

…What the hell’s that supposed to mean‽ That I’m just supposed to let neo-nazis intimidate refugees without consequence‽
