    My home is more of a democracy than a dictatorship. I could of course forbid them from playing, impose whatever sanctions, But they have fun doing it and they have a bunch of real life friends that join them.

          tankie = stalinist/maoist style communist, take control of everything, anyone who resists, run them over with tanks.

          lemmy.ml has a bunch, also hexbear and especially lemmygrad.

          They seem like angsty tweens who suddenly realized they figured out the solution to everything, and anyone who doesn’t listen to them must be dealt with.

            Specifically referring to scenarios where tanks were used in conflicts between civilians and the state, such as Tiananmen square or Chechnya and expressing support for the side using tanks.
