        doesn’t matter, still tankies. libs declare anyone who is too left leaning as scary murderous tankies.

        tankie is not about what they believe in but how can we destroy their reputation so nobody listens to their actually effective anti-estabilishment rhetoric.

        basically a meaningless term used by right wingers for demonization, not a real descriptor of political leaning.

        It’s a shifting target. Tankie has always been a pejorative for those supportive of socialist states, now this has broadened from “support” to “doesn’t fully condemn.”

                Haha, fair. I will say, the idea that I’m “infamous” has always been funny to me. A few people really hate me, while most tend to be on good terms. It generally follows the chart in the meme, dbzer0 is okay with me, the 3 more communist instances tend to like me, while those on the opposite side of the iron curtain, so to speak, have a few people that despise me.
