Thank you. I had an idea, that it was something like that. It seems that on lemmy it means everyone left of poster (or OP), the poster disagree with.

    That's usually how the tankies try to convey it, but otherwise I haven't seen that argument.

    So people are "tankies" if they define "tankie" as slur meaning "left of poster"? That once again sounds like the way MAGA use "woke" about stuff they don't like.

    Not at all, and you're not the first that tries to denaturate or change the definition of the word tankie.

    A tankie is pro authoritarian, but instead of being pro fascism its being pro those who called themselves left like stalin lenin etc

    So it describes the "left" Maga if you want.

    I sure do understand why tankies would want to make believe the "tankie" is just like "woke" but it isn't, it's calling them out, showing that they are not leftists but authoritarians (so again, basically fascists).
