Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.

A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

My favorite part is the claim that one of the most factual unbiased news organizations out there is just a US government mouthpiece. I am genuinely curious how someone's thinking gets so twisted that they end up there.
