I know for a lot of people a tankie is just something that they know it when they see it, however I think that it is important to think about the reason that you define something as being tankie vs just a leftist.

"I haven't talked to these people so they don't exist" is a weird as fuck take.

Technically, they said "people I interact with". Then...he kinda made it clear you hadn't really misunderstood him. sigh

Only thing worse is when someone claims that I really know their position is correct, I'm just lying/misguided/being stubborn or some similar flavor of bullshit.

Ok then. Screenshot of someone saying they love Putin/Xi (or anything that might be interpreted in that way) that you have encountered...

Why the fuck would I waste my time doing that? If you want to believe those people don't exist in the face of this specific community being dedicated to showing that they do, in fact, exist, with tons of screenshots already, nothing I could show you would convince you otherwise.

Ok, then.
