    I'm going to assume you're joking and this is a bit. But I'll answer anyway.

    All leftists support Palestine against the colonizers who stole their homes and have been ethnically cleansing Palestinians for decades.

    It's a basically almost a prerequisite to being a leftist and has been for decades. I have never heard of a leftist supporting an apartheid state like Israel. It would be like hearing a Conservative say they hate the troops.

    The only difference is whether it's mass-produced, rigorous code tanks, or modular open-source, personalized tanks.

    Even the choking liberals get oxygen tanks.

      A tankie these days is anyone to the left of Ronald Reagan. Possibly even including Reagan, if the chud is deranged enough.

    Liberals use tankie the way fascists use woke. All it means is "a person to my left" and no one with any principles uses it. Anarchists are tankies ever since like 2018.

    Most of them aren't but Mike Tankie owns 734 improvised armored vehicles made out of old street sweeping machines and is skewing the numbers. He should have been discounted as an outlier.
