Naw, so my line of thinking:

“People” wouldn’t say that tankies are leftists
Tankies would say that they are leftists
Thusly, tankies must not be people

I do want to say that I mean this completely in jest. While I don’t like nor get along with tankies types, I do understand there is a fundamental level of human respect that they still deserve (I just really liked the quick hitting punch line).
