You all use tankie exactly the same way republicans use woke. As a meaningless thought-terminating cliche deployed against literally everyone to your left to avoid actually learning anything.

It's a vibes-based invective liberals use the same way chuds use "woke" to dispel any cognitive dissonance that might crop up whenever they discover information they find displeasing because it might mean the rest of the delusions they're immersed in might not be all that airtight. Just a thought-terminating word with absolutely no meaning. Just like "whataboutism," it's a weasel's way out of addressing someone else's argument in good faith (which I have yet to see you display in this thread).

Personally, it's absolutely fucking hilarious to see how much these words get thrown around, especially when it comes from so-called "leftists." If you truly are one, you ought to quit it with that bullshit.

If you are unable to recognize atrocity propaganda by the US and/or Nazi collaborators or evangelical wackos who believe God tasked them with destroying a country, you're a chump.

There is a healthy and honest way to appreciate communism, Russia, the CCP and even DPRK.

Please tell us more about those healthy and honest "anti-authoritarian" non-tankie communists. Who are they and what political results have they made?

Strange, I do not uncritically support any of those democracies (I assume you mean USSR when you say Russia) and I keep being called tankie.

Tankie is to liberals as woke is to right liberals and fascists.

Also it is CPC, CCP has racist connotations and also isn't what they're called.

Are the tankies in the room with us right now, shitlib?

There is a healthy and honest way to appreciate communism, Russia, the CCP and even DPRK.

Agreed

And then there are people who are completely shilling the CCP Russia DPRK as communist uptopias. These people are tankies.

I would agree with you, if you simply called them dumbasses instead of using the equivalent of “woke” that’s virtually meaningless now. I have seen communists, anarchists, liberals, and even Zelensky being branded as “tankies”

the atrocities commited at any point in history, by the USA China, Russia , or any other country for that Matter

Just another whataboutism from a liberal centrist tankie!!!
