Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.
A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

Most tankies are western middle class who think that being anti-west is a valid personality trait.
Middle class teenagers according to their behavior. I hope they grow up one day.
You don’t think mature adults use “fr rn” in online discussions?
Or unironically use such imaginative and devastating insults as “Amerikkka”/“Imperial Core” (USA), “The Empire” (NATO), “Ukronazi”, or “Isntreal” towards countries they don’t like and want genocided
