To be fair, in the comments are some sources that made me go :bruh:

Edit: I did find a “tankie” that says “prolonging the civil war + US occupation would be worse than a Taliban peace”, also coupmed with "the immediate fall of the Afghan military is proof that the Taliban are more legitimate rulers than the US puppet government". See for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1i0ipzS754
I mean, they're the ones correctly calling the trots tankies and being mocked for it.
I figure it is easier to gently correct people by letting them continue mocking the people they're mocking than to point out that they are mocking people for being correct.
Besides, the core problem is still that the word doesn't mean anything at this point.
