Is that a reference? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sean@liberal.city 2 points 3 years ago @favrion @1stTime4MeInMCU tankies is derogatory term of communists who regardless of reality excuse everything that authoritarian governments do. It was coined to describe Stalinists who defended USSR rolling in tanks on Hungary in 1958. They're the mirror image of MAGA cultists who will be the first to defend Trump when he inevitably goes ahead and shoots someone in the middle of 5th Ave. My 1st interaction with a tankie was a Canadian youtuber who made videos defending North Korea, not satire permalink fedilink source parent
