Tankie is just a slur for people who aren’t ideological and financially compromised by the United Treats of America.

Found the tankie.

Honestly What bullshit.

Tankie is a slur for authoritarian communists.

There is a healthy and honest way to appreciate communism, Russia, the CCP and even DPRK.

And then there are people who are completely shilling the CCP Russia DPRK as communist uptopias. These people are tankies.

If you are unable to recoginze the atrocities commited at any point in history, by the USA China, Russia , or any other country for that Matter. You're a chump.

Agreed

I would agree with you, if you simply called them dumbasses instead of using the equivalent of “woke” that’s virtually meaningless now. I have seen communists, anarchists, liberals, and even Zelensky being branded as “tankies”
