It’s not shilling, it’s nuance. American main stream thinking is full of lies about both China and Russia. And both conservatives and liberals HATE when people don’t fall in line.

    Your second and third sentence are true. I have definitely seen plenty of shills though.

    In my experience I've only seen the word tankie be used by leftists. Libs and conservatives don't even know what a tankie is.

    Anyone who uses the term "tankie" unironically to disparage other leftists is a lib. Anyone who uses the term ironically to make fun of those who don't is a leftist. But you're right, conservatives don't know what it means, they also don't know that they are libs as well.
