Not really. It’s someone who claims to be liberal or progressive or a way left thinker willing to use force to make the world what they want
People who diminish or refute Tiananmen Square 1989 are tankies
😂 😂 😂
Oh come on, we all know you mean communists. Why don’t you just say commies?
Because tankies are next-level communists. So while all tankies are also commies, not all commies are tankies.
For me the biggest distinction is that I think commies are just naive and want to live in a fairy tale, tankies are actually malicious and want to fuck it up for all of us if we let them.
It’s original definition doesn’t include liberals. I consider myself relatively left. I’ve had people ridicule some of my viewpoints for being too liberal (I guess too center for them). Those people were tankies, but they weren’t tankies because they’re more left than me. It’s because they consider themselves to be very left leaning while still praising authoritative regimes and being apologists for them. That’s the tank part. They’re alright with military dictatorships of the past and even consider them to have been successful. They also rarely are able to admit the flaws of those regimes (including the genocides), and even if they do, there’s a “reason” for it (X might have been bad and did this, but at the same time, it also did Y which was somewhat good)
This is the problem with “tankie”, nobody can actually define it.
You, attempting to refute that it’s “woke” but for liberals, proved that it is “woke” for liberals.
The best refutation is that woke is “woke” for liberals, but Americans fail to recognize both of their parties are liberals.
