How do I make emacs stop fucking up my tabs and refusing to insert tabs where I want them?

IF I HIT TAB MY TEXT EDITOR SHOULD INSERT A DAMN TAB

@Canageek Also, hot take: Inserting tabs should be the default, /don't give me spaces/.

@frostclaws Tabs are fine. I don't have a really strong opinion, but emacs will decide what level of indentation you should be at, and its algorithems are NOT right for LaTeX where it uses \begin and \end more then putting stuff inside the {}

@Canageek Oh, didn't even think about the possibility of it doing tab-as-autoindent!

@nesc that involves additional button presses, I'd like to set tab to do the same thing as M-i
