You're joking right? The subreddit is heavily tankie and the forums before they took them offline where also tankie. I'm sure there are some people who aren't like that, that are members of the SRA, but the majority is super tankie. Just look at their mission statement, it's even got anti-capitalist as part of their mission.

No, why would I be joking? What's the joke? Seriously, can we dive into this? What about my comment made you think I was trying to be funny?

You're basing your opinion of a leftist org entirely on your personal internet experiences. Basing your opinion of an organization on internet experience vibes is not wise.

Just look at their mission statement, it's even got anti-capitalist as part of their mission.

If you think being anti capitalist is synonymous with being a tankie, then you've done a better job discrediting yourself than I ever could have.

The SRA takes great pains to communicate the idea that they are a broad coalition of queen folks, people of color, anarchists, marxists, maoists, marxist-leninists, etc... united in the belief of anti capitalism. Their whole shtick is that any and all leftists can join united under the idea of learning about guns - regardless of individual philosophy. The fact that youre lobbing around the word "tankie" at zero hour of the fascist descent, in combination with equating "tankie" with anticapitalism, in combination with spewing FUD about one of the most successful and inclusive leftists gun rights orgs, makes it pretty clear that youre just one of the typical radlibs who aren't ready to commit to reckoning with the United States' burgeoning fascism.

Thanks for proving my point... nothing like an .ml tankie to come swooping in and drop some hot ass garbage.

PS. You can go through my comments, I'm a hardcore 2a guy who's volunteered time with the pink pistols via my firearms and my own range, before blazing sword and they combined. The fact that you're acting like those of us who don't like fascist in any form are ok with swapping right wing fascist with you tankies version of authoritarianism is just hilarious.

Radlib lol first time I've heard that one.
