Saw a comrade post this as a response in the Mousolini dunk thread, that become a dunk thread on an annoying lib calling us tankies lol.

Thought this was really insightful, and from a different angle than what i usually see as the rascist connotations of "tankie" and of western left anti-communism, and thought it deserved its own thread. Particularly, since the influx of western anti-cummunist takes we've been dealing with recently.

I have two tank tops. I want more but they're so randomly sized. One M-L squeezes me too tightly, another M is so loose it's like a parachute. I do like tank tops under open button ups. Does tankie mean you like tank tops? I guess I'm one hella of a tankie then. ;3

Don't forget shelf stable and radiation resistant!

You're thinking of tank bottoms, slightly different

I'm really particular about arm-hole size in tank tops, personally. Not into these giant holes that are fashionable nowadays.

[–] Twink@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Oh yea I send away tank tops if the holes turn out too big. I feel naked in a bad way with them. My another personal strong preference is now far apart the straps are. For me the further the better. The close ones look ugly IMO.
