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.

Exactly. They are mad about the world but won't do anything about it other than wait for the revolution to come like it's the second coming of Christ. They are mad about the status quo and want to make others pay for it, even potential allies who agree in a lot of aspects.
