    Tankie is a floating signifier, a pejorative, a thought-terminating cliché, a rhetorical cudgel.

    The only reason why you would deny it or hide it is if you have an agenda.

    Or because it’s a thought-terminating pejorative. And in any case, just as it is impossible to be unbiased, it is impossible to be agendaless. By implying that I have some secret agenda, you’re doubling down on McCarthyism.
