Tankies take offence at the militarisation of police. Psst, don't tell them about the soviet union or modern-day China!

A “tankie”, singular. By this logic tankies are in to Wheel of Time.
- Tankies are always unified with their beliefs.
  until they start asking questions about said beliefs
  
  Way to generalize there chief
Whataboutism.
Everyone should take offense to the militarization of police and copaganda.
Military/police tech and machines can be cool and cops can be bastards at the same time.

  Get real.
  
  I'm not the one that posted a textbook propaganda technique as a title.
  You could have posted any of the actual arguments but you come across as a bootlicker so it makes sense you couldn't come up with any.
I'm not sure I understand why this is a big deal. Kids are sometimes into dump trucks and I put this in the same category.
- The idea is that police gaining more power over citizens further divides class.
  
  Yes and also many of the "tankies" on Lemmy aren't actually communists or even real people. It's a facade used to spread propaganda, often in order to divide people.
  People vs police Men vs women Old vs young Black vs white Rich vs poor Rural vs urban Etc
