Same thing “woke” means to conservatives, except it’s used by liberals instead - absolutely anything they want it to mean in any given situation.
It’s deployed by people generally referring to any kind of marxists that have anti-imperialist politics, but I frequently see it used by liberals against even anarchists if they’re not pro-nato.
It is complete garbage, should be ignored, and the people using the word derided as cranks. Once you start to realise that their behaviour is exactly the same as the people that scream about the “woke” all the time you realise how ridiculous it is, they filter EVERYTHING through hating the “tankies” (which can mean anything in different situations remember) in exactly the same way.
Holy fuck the arrogance and aggressive stupidity of that turbo lib in the replies is unreal. They were engaged in good faith and decided to just be an asshole and deliberately avoid every argument presented to them. If I ever met someone like that I don't know if I'd be able to overcome the urge to smack the teeth right out of their empty skull.
It's at least reassuring to see just how intellectually vacant the opposition is.
credits to someone else on here that I forgot the username of:
Tankies (plural noun) - a supporter of the American invasion and occupation of Iraq in which thousands of American tanks were used to destroy local resistance
Pinko, commie, red, traitor, bleeding heart, liberal, hippie, etc. Basically anything to the left of me that I don't like.
used by liberals(who are never allies to the left) and feds posing as anarchists online.
Word don't mean things, sweetie.
That's where you got confused.
I don't understand this tactic of pretending that the word tankie doesn't mean anything. For the vast majority of the time, it's used as a derogatory term for communists who support AES.
I think it's a bar in South Philly named after the owner's deceased son?
