But haven't you heard about the TANKIES?! They're everywhere*!

According to these geniuses, anyone who isn't willing to immediately slurp down the United States' 12 inch propaganda schlong is a tankie. Too much critical thinking? Tankie! Too critical of capitalism or too supportive of anarchism/socialism/communism? Tankie! Noticed how many of the worst tankie whiners have an army of alts? Biggest Winnie the Pooh fucking, ghost of the USSR cuckolded tankie ever.

Most of their circle jerks start with a meme where they make up a strawman about what their imaginary tankies are up to (versus what Lemmy's actual tankies are really doing), then verbally stroke each other off as they claim anyone who calls them out for being delusional upvote farmers is also a secret tankie.

*when your standard is "anyone I dislike or disagree with is a tankie".
