In light of recent events and confusion, I think we would all benefit from having a single, concise definition for the word tankie. Here are my suggestions:

  • Someone who believes that violence has a proper use and that that use isn't "getting bananas for my tum tum"

  • Some dumbass Kremlin bot who thinks that Russia is a country rather than an actual duchy of hell

  • A Neo-Shermanist

  • A fascist in every way, except the ones that matter and also the other ones

  • A hysterical CCP bot who lacks our sensible, rules-based policy of zero-tolerance for the Chinese

  • A MAGAt who thinks that Drumpf was neither the beginning nor the end of our problems, and who thinks it's funny - FUNNY, I SAY - that we're so caught up on him

  • A non-conservative who is mean to me about my opinions

  • Mom, systematically repressing me with a fascist so-called bedtime 😡

  • invalidusernamelol [he/him]

    Woah, didn't know Lemmy was so full of British Social democrats from the 1950s that really care about Hungary.
