    Indeed, I said that I directly addressed your points because I did.

    I never said “this is how I use it.” The definition exists independently of me or you.

    And that definition is “authoritarian communist”, and has nothing to do with peace, actually!

      No, it’s actually about people who support peace. I already explained why, in a point that you most certainly, 100% failed to address, directly or otherwise.

        No, it’s not. Tankie in NO WAY means “people who support peace”.

        You explained why, true, but your explanation was FALSE. Because words are defined by common use. And common use of the word “tankie” is “authoritarian communist”, not “people who support peace”.

        You saying I’ve failed proves that I’m right, because you also say “tankie means people who support peace”. Your claims are absurdly wrong to a comical degree, you’re some kind of bizarro tankie that hates itself.

          How many times are you going to blandly assert that your definition is correct while ignoring all my points? Like talking to a brick wall.

            I have made ZERO blind assertions and provided a definition from CAMBRIDGE.

            Your points aren’t real, if only they were as solid as a brick wall. You have nothing to back you up, I have decades of word usage and published definitions used everywhere English is used.

            That’s because you’re wrong, and that’s okay!

              Again, blandly asserting “I’m right and you’re wrong.” I don’t know if you’re just stubborn, or if you lack the capacity to engage beyond that. Either way, you obviously have nothing to contribute.

                It’s far beyond “I’m right and you’re wrong.”

                It’s “I am right as reflected by the entire history of the word until its present day, as recorded by Cambridge, Oxford, Webster’s, dictionary.com, and every other English dictionary… and you are wrong”.

                You DO contribute something… a chuckle.

                Nothing in any definition about peace, sorry friend.

                    It doesn’t mean “peaceful negotiator” etc. in any recorded English literature since the inception of the word… somehow what you call “use” has avoided every English publication ever printed for sixty years.
