Yeah, from any experience I have with actual, real life “leftists” it’s that they’re by and large exceedingly normal people who are very willing to like… politely sit in on the local dems meeting because everyone involved knows there’s about an 80% overlap in desired policy.
“Tankies” are more like people role-playing a particular ideology, in the same spirit that new “trad catholic” people are largely just role playing weather they know it or not, and most of them grow out of it by 25 or so. Exceedingly few of these people actually practice these views in any significant way in the real world.
