Tankies are adult-childs.
Help a brother out, what's a tankie?
Authoritarian Communists / Stalinists. Named so because they still supported the USSR even in things like sending in tanks to Hungary and Czech Republic to crush rebelliomns there in the 50s and 60s.
They published it themselves. So they likely believe this snippet of dialogue makes them look good, which it doesn't.
I'd love to see the rest of the chain
Fuck tankies. I don't think this thread makes Aiden look good as well... But they're not wrong either? Who thinks they know everything? Like, if you hadn't said they were a tankie I wouldn't know what was wrong with the conversation.
Context: I'm autistic, am I missing social cues or expectations or something?
No one said they knew everything. The aunt said she is not interested in learning additional stuff. That she thinks she got life covered with what she got.
It's not social clues or expectations you're missing. It's reading comprehension
"I don't need to learn anything else in this world." has the same meaning as "I know everything" imo. Logically, that tracks. If you don't need to learn anything else, it's because you know everything. "want" and "need" create two very different sentences. If she had said "I don't want to learn anything else," then fine, whatever, you do you.
That was the process of reading comprehension. If the reader is missing context, and/or is unable to integrate the reading to life experience that's a different issue; that had nothing to do with reading comprehension.
I guess I was taking it too literally, based on your response.
It's probably likely they've been pestering their aunt nonstop about their tankie ideology.
Lol. Immediately takes it as an insult. He's just pissed that she shut him down right away. "Read this massive book on political theory!" "Nah nephew" "Oh! Am I think then or are you god?!"
I love how they edited one message, but the the glaring typo in the very next one.
