Who are you talking about? Libs mostly don’t even know what tankies are, they aren’t generally going around using the term as an epithet. I think there’s more LaRouchites than tankies in the US, it’s an obscure and politically irrelevant tiny little slice of the population that 99% of people have no idea about. The only reason anyone talks about them on Lemmy is because there’s a disproportionate amount here and a number of them like to make a nuisance of themselves. The people who dislike tankies are almost exclusively actual communists and Marxists and socialists and anarchists, and generally people of the left who are in any way knowledgeable about history or politics. No else even gives a shit about them.

Exactly. I’d say that its likely most everyone else has never even heard the term.

The ones here do. I’m not writting for people not here.
And they’re “libs” because you say so, because they don’t pass your purity test.
Fallacious as fuck.
Liberals are the only ones doing that.
