However, never has a person who uses the term “tankie” ever actually engaged in an open discussion about those beliefs. “Tankie” is a conversation ender that kills all subsequent thought the minute someone throws it out.

Many people, especially on this site, self identify as tankies. They also have utterly unreasonable view points that are against any gradual change and think any positive change must be as a result of an instant bloody revolution they also won't personally fight in or start.

The fact that you tried to use the term they personally identify as a way to dismiss my criticisms and pretend it was I that was being the problem speaks to you not actually wanting to address the point I'm making.
