I too sometimes wear anarchism panties on my face.
Well now I need a pair of anarchism panties. For when I’m doing anarchism.
We have a situation. A situation that calls for anarchism panties.
Not too fond of genocides and presidents for life

Time to piss everyone off by calling all 3 of the portrayed ideologies equally as idiotic but in different ways like a true patriotic leftist infighter
While I approve of the intent; there isn’t 3 ideologies there 😅 one in the middle is just rainbow, so some queer representation.
Back when writing the comment, I had imagined the person with a rainbow to represent some liberal progressive ideology, that’s all about the social cause while actively avoiding the equally as important economic causes/aspects. Though now that I look at it, I suppose you’re right, it might just be a queer person and not a representation of any ideology.
Hmm yes, using ableist language to dunk on the evil tankies.
It’s targeted meanness. It’s a rhetorical tactic. It’s not for general use in conversations. It’s like calling fascists weird, making fun of a terf woman for looking ugly, or calling a transphobe a dumbass for demanding we respect his new pronouns because he put on a dress and makeup.
I’ll use tankies as an example. Tankies are evil demons because they want to use trans people for political purposes and kill us all for not being ideologically pure. If a tanky says they’re on the left call them a dumbass. And if anyone asks what a tanky is tell them that tankies are red fascists aka authoritarian communists.
To be clear, as a trans woman, I don’t want someone who uses ableism as a cudgel online defending me online or in real life. It’s not useful. It does nothing to forward the interests of neurodivergent people and it does nothing to push back on the people who want me dead. All it does is silence rhetorically effective critique of intolerant fascists and makes the person screaming ableism feel morally pure.
Again, it’s targeted. This does not mean we should being using ableist language for no reason or because we feel like it in casual conversation. It’s fine to call out meanness or ableism when it is being used in a way that serves no useful purpose.
Also, the goal isn’t really to use slurs but in theory they could be used. Whatever is useful in the particular social environment. The goal is to be mean to a specific target. This is about leveraging the way social media accumulates engagement and internet culture against intolerant people who we should not tolerate.
Refusing to use targeted meanness in a social war is like refusing to use guns in a physical war. It’s a great way to lose the war.

People with learning disabilities are frequently stereotyped and ridiculed with exactly the same language & body language op is using to portray the ‘tankie’. Imo it’s no different than using the r word.
Hurr hurr most likely as it is closely aligned with the R word, and the jokes that came with it
It doesn’t help that the original comic says that exact word as the punchline.
