The feds? Liberals trying to cause dissent? Cognitive dissonance of being left while in the west?

    Posters. Posters post about tankies. Streamers, who are posters, talk about tankies. Posters, who watch streamers, post about tankies. They feed each other until it seems to be everywhere. It's just online people. Except for when those online people join an org and then start getting mad at tankies. Or some larger commentator at a news corporation pays too much attention to online stuff.

      What typically happens when one of those posters gets mad at tankies IRL at an org, because I've never seen that?

        pre-existing org: laughed out of the org probably

        one they form themselves (lol): laughed at by everyone else

        I'd probably get clocked as an anarchist and organize with anarchists irl doing mutual aid, and literally all of us would get called tankies online by liberals

            You can be the most lefty anti-authority anarchist to ever exist, but if you don't hate all of our cold war enemies, that makes you a tankie.
