    Repeatedly calling tankies stupid but also criticizing us for writing essay length comments

    When we engage with them we’re writing thought out responses. When they engage with us it’s thought terminating cliches and name calling.

      This is why i have infinite respect for our comrades who can wade into these waters and not lose their head

      I’m too short-tempered to argue with people like this

          My father in law is the very model of a modern major liberal and often inserts his opinions about human nature and how evil the enemies of Amerikkka are any chance he gets. I keep saving comments by cowbee to use as responses to him and the last few times I’ve done it, it has stopped him in his tracks, immediately changing the subject. I swear, there’s something about how cowbee responds that works really well on a certain kind of people.

      We are simultaneously irrelevant fringe weirdos and the sole thing holding back the western left. We are simultaneously too stupid and too smart. They can’t make up their mind about why tankies are bad, they just know that we are.
