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.

Unfortunately there's a large Tankie platform on Lemmy called "Lemmygrad" or something like that and they love brigading here and at Blahaj zone
They always are.
Or TERFs that saw this post.
I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if there's a significant overlap between TERFs and tankies
