And subsequently banned for being too Chapo-adjacent, yeah.
Either way, the term "tankie" is just an upgraded term for "Antifa" or "Stupid Leftist" or "Naderite" or "Card Carrying Member of the ACLU". There was always a word for "people who are so left that they are crazy" and this is just the latest iteration.
The only appropriate response is :tankie: . Really fucks with the Neoliberals, because you know that gang would have loved Dukakis 40 years ago.
r/ChapoTrapHouse was at the bleeding edge of Reddit culture (in both positive and negative aspects). A lot of discussions, arguments, terminology, snowclones, and memes originated there and flowed downstream to the defaults and r/all.
For instance, someone did a data visualization on the use and spread of "OK Boomer" and r/CTH was the vanguard. The same could very well be true of the "tankie" discourse, considering the fact that it only gets worse as it rolls downhill like a giant Katamari ball of dog shit.
