I saw someone on reddit say "tankies/campists" the other day, they love to take leftist infighting words and use them in place of "commie."
Someone who almost reflexively takes sides against the USA, NATO, or whichever side in a conflict is more closely aligned with these... thus ending up with the correct ethical stance over 90% of the time.
It's just tankie for when ultras are mad that someone is supporting China, or Russia or Hamas, or Iran or whoever, no matter how critically.
Someone who correctly identifies that imperialism has a team of nation states that support it, and chooses to align with the nation states that opposed them in kind.
It’s a person who likes to camp, and who will make fun of you for having a cheap Coleman tent.
Sh-sh-shut up y-y-you campist 😫
As an olive branch, when it comes to car camping I think the coleman dual fuel stove is the best choice for cooking. You're still a fucking nerd.
My buddy has one of those. Good stove. I mainly backpack so I have a MSR pocket stove. And I have different tents, I swear. I call my Coleman tent the fart tent, from all the farting I’ve done in it.
Trying to reduce pack weight but insist on bringing my separate fart tent.
