Are you sure this was meant to be a reply to me?
Well, you're making bad faith replies to words used to describe people who are consistently repressed under capitalism, so yes I'm responding to you
I said slurs can be based on colour and you're saying that I pretend that communist were not persecuted, do you see why I'm confused?
Why did you respond that to my comment then
Because I think you were wrong? In fact I find your original argument kind of ridiculous.
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?
Why would I ignore the thing I wanted to talk about? Do you find it weird that you accused me of not engaging with you yet you seem to ignore what I say?
