    Maybe you should balance it out with a more nuanced take. Not everyone who is left of a liberal is pro dictator. Tankie is typically a term liberals who doesn’t understand leftisms use to group it all together with a derogatory meaning.

    There are certainly brain dead bootlicking marxists or MLM’s but someone who thinks a communist or ML utopian society is possible is not a tankie.

    I would say a tankie is more authoritarian apologist, but it is more meaningless than anything.

    Idk to expect a serious reply though ;)

          I apply it where it’s justified, Yogthos is infamous for it, along with davel and head honcho themself dessalines

          .ml is labeled a tankie instance because dessalines and davel are admins who censor any non-tankie dissent/speech
