Tankies were actually mad that they couldn't distinguish their speech from conservatives.

Horseshoe theory

They said to do with Nazis instead of Conservatives, but I really don't want to put any Nazi rhetoric in this comm. would be funny tho

#1 has to be MAGA. Taking about crybabies and taking L’s is just such a red hat thing to do, that if this is a tankie, it’s only a tankie who got their mannerisms purely from MAGA.

I suspect #2 as tankie because in my experience, conservatives don’t look at things normal “liberals” say, even to laugh at them. They might make things up that liberals say, or they might point at a soundbyte widely analyzed and mocked and picked apart on Fox News, but they wouldn’t find a real person with non-conservative views and listen to what they say, even for the purposes of ridicule. That would break the echo chamber.

#3 could go either way, to be honest. This was nearly a coin flip for me. Having family members with other views is the one exception to the “no breaking the echo chamber” rule, as it’s harder to avoid, and even the conservatives might comment on the experience. But I really don’t know about this one.

#4 sounds like a conservative taking point, but I suspect it’s bait for that reason. And there’s just something about the phrasing that feels more like “I worship dictatorships” than “gays and black people scare me”.

Surely #5 must be tankie… conservatives use liberal as a synonym for evil. They’d never admit in their echo chamber that they used to be liberal, much much less that liberalism used to be good but “left them behind”. Tankies can admit that, because they can say they “became enlightened” or whatever shit they say now. I don’t think conservatives can do that.

Idk, just going with my gut feeling. It's not like you can actually tell xP

goat@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 356d

that's the beauty of this game and why it annoys them so much. even tankies themselves can't distinguish their own words from conservatives

Conservative (had to change my guess and I felt least strong about this one)

Tankie (vibes, probably talking about Kirk)

Tankie (I feel like a con wouldn't think to ask how a progressive could take back patriotism)

Conservative (defending trump)

Conservative (nobody would "come out" as a Latin communist, but some moron repubs would "come out" as a Latin republican)

Edit: someone else already guessed TTTCC, so I'm switching my guess to CTTCC.

Since none of us got it after over a week, are you going to award the closest answer, let us make multiple guesses, or just give us the answer and award no prize? I’m pretty curious.
