    Okay, but the word tankie is so overused that it’s lost all meaning. I saw libertarians using it. You don’t want to use the same insult as libertarians do you?

      It is being used as a descriptive term for people who support authoritarian regimes and frame themselves as left-leaning. Idc how libertarians use it.

              You’re trying to argue that tankie doesn’t mean anything anymore. I’m saying it has a clearly defined definition, and you said you know what it is, acknowledging that that is what it means, therefore we’re on the same page. You never voiced your opinion on how you feel on tankies or what they do so I don’t know what your opinion is. Only your opinion on the definition.

                Okay I didn’t mean it literally lost all meaning. As for my opinion of the people you refer to as tankies, they piss me off. I believe they are either misinformed or they only choose to see what they wish. I prefer to call them China / North Korea / Russia dick suckers.
