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.

My dude, they are all over the place on the fediverse. You not knowing about them means you've been sheltered so far. They are by and far the worst ones for posting nasty things on here and it's a very good bet that if you see someone from lemmygrad they are most likely a tankie. Look it up if you don't know what it is.
