    I addressed your argument re “definition”, what the definition was, and what makes a definition.

    That’s not what I said at all. That’s just repeatedly asserting “this is how I use it” while completely ignoring my point.

    No accusations have been made, it’s all here for anyone else to see (as long as they don’t share your cognitive dissonance, that is).

    What is? What have I said that demonstrates I fit your definition of “tankie?”

      I didn’t say that’s what you said, I addressed how I responded to you. Obviously.

      I don’t care what you are and don’t want to discuss you personally, thank you.

      Tankie means “authoritarian communist”, regardless of what you are or what you think the word means. “Tankie” has nothing to do with “peace”. Actually!

      Definitions exist independently of you, thank God!

        You claimed that you had “directly” addressed all my points, and not just blandly repeated “this is how I use it.” Then you referenced yourself not addressing my point and instead blandly repeating “this is how I use it.”

          Indeed, I said that I directly addressed your points because I did.

          I never said “this is how I use it.” The definition exists independently of me or you.

          And that definition is “authoritarian communist”, and has nothing to do with peace, actually!

            No, it’s actually about people who support peace. I already explained why, in a point that you most certainly, 100% failed to address, directly or otherwise.

              No, it’s not. Tankie in NO WAY means “people who support peace”.

              You explained why, true, but your explanation was FALSE. Because words are defined by common use. And common use of the word “tankie” is “authoritarian communist”, not “people who support peace”.

              You saying I’ve failed proves that I’m right, because you also say “tankie means people who support peace”. Your claims are absurdly wrong to a comical degree, you’re some kind of bizarro tankie that hates itself.

                How many times are you going to blandly assert that your definition is correct while ignoring all my points? Like talking to a brick wall.

                  I have made ZERO blind assertions and provided a definition from CAMBRIDGE.

                  Your points aren’t real, if only they were as solid as a brick wall. You have nothing to back you up, I have decades of word usage and published definitions used everywhere English is used.

                  That’s because you’re wrong, and that’s okay!

                    Again, blandly asserting “I’m right and you’re wrong.” I don’t know if you’re just stubborn, or if you lack the capacity to engage beyond that. Either way, you obviously have nothing to contribute.
