    It’s pretty easy to find them. Here, I’ll draw some out for you:

    Mao and Stalin were just as evil as Hitler. China is engaging in a genocide of the Uyghur people. Putin is a genocidal war criminal fighting a war of imperialism.

      So anyone who doesn’t engage in Double Genocide Theory, a recognized form of Holocaust denial, is a “tankie”.

          Really not beating the allegations that “tankie” is just an ill-defined snarl word

            Couple of you jumped when that user snapped their fingers, but somehow tankies are “ill-defined”. Lmao it’s just too easy.

              Oh when you put it that way, it definitely sounds like a serious political descriptor and not just a gotcha used by trolls /s

                The shoe fits. It’s pretty easy to define tankies. Russian and Chinese imperialists. Easy. Go read more. Y’all even got a Wikipedia page clearly defining you! Hahahahaha

                  Ok, well I’m not a “Russian and Chinese” imperialist, so you’ve already contradicted yourself. Which is unsurprising given you basically tried to treat “tankiesayswhat” as a serious political definition.

                    Does authoritarian sound better? By the way, I was laughing at you for falling for it. If you want a serious political definition… Look it up. Ya know, read.
