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.

No wonder they love Ruzzia so much, probably because they threaten us with nukes that can totally singlehandedly launch Florida into orbit (source: trust me bro) on a daily basis (to the point that between them, Iran and now Israel nuke threats are now meaningless) and suddenly want a state from us that would give them thousands of gays to kill and put them on Seattle’s doorstep (so just one Trump-like president away from tech secrets and even deadlier homophobic killing sprees for them!), now that it’s becoming a frozen Saudi Arabia sans enslaved desis/gay-defenestratings
