“Tankie” has gone from “supporter of Khrushchev sending in tanks to Hungary” to “any leftist who advocates for revolution and not socdem reforms”, and is quickly becoming equivalent to “fascist” in many circles
Real suspicious shit that this is encouraged by some of the biggest “leftist” personalities
(Yes this is a thinly veiled V****post)
I love seeing comments on poltical tiktoks that are "anti-tankie" like how 'tankies' support school shootings by virtue of not wanting complete gun control and how we want to oppress teens in high school through not supporting complete gun control. or how tankies are racist for saying revolution is important because that means only nonwhite people will die and then when you ask them about all the successful revolutions in majority nonwhite countries, they're just like "WELL!!! IDK!!!" its quite itneresting... also tankie really will just mean 'anyone who disagrees with me about anything' to these people
Imagine watching the whole BLM uprising last year and coming away with the conclusion that only the cops should have guns.
they usually believe in something along the lines of police abolition (to a degree tho) so it's weird. like well that will only be achieved in a tankie-esque society......
