      For reddit Atleast, a 'tankie' is a creature from the forbidden depths of genzedong. Just anti West and will support anything to own westoids.

        Are China, Cuba, Nicaragua all “tankies”? Because they all are refusing to condemn Russia or even backing them.

        If I have to decide between the positions of all AES states vs. westerners who have a history of social imperialism I know who I’m siding with.

        China’s position is the correct one in my opinion. Urge for an end to the war and negotiations that lead to a ceasefire, with security concessions granted to Russia. No sanctions on Russia.

        This effectively means that NATO and the west should not get involved whatsoever, should stop supplying arms & should encourage Zelenskyy’s government to surrender as soon as possible

        A tankie is an amalgamation of Guys reddit made up to get mad at. They are so anti American they would support the nazis. They think Stalin literally did nothing wrong. They hate LGBT people. They know China is genociding Muslims but secretly think that's a good thing.

        And sometimes a tankie is anyone who doesn't think Che was an evil murderer :shrug-outta-hecks:

      I've heard "left-wing people who deny genocides". My reply was "Wait, so like liberals who support Israel? But liberals aren't left-wing."

      Been doing that for a few weeks and none of the 10 people I've asked have been able to remotely articulate what they even think it means
