I just watched the new We're In Hell today and my eyes totally didn't roll back into my skull when he mentioned tankies and authoritarianism. Tankies are after all a very real phenomenon that definitely exists, and the term obviously describes something that is both specific and also bad. Boy oh gee I'm sure glad this funny Canadian mustache man isn't one of those guys! I can't imagine watching him if he were!

    I haven't seen it yet, did he actually talk about tankies? Oh god I thought he was good.

    He said something like, "Like I'm not a tankie but this is one way authoritarian regimes are just legitimately better," while talking about how liberal democracies by their nature are just bad at planning transit infrastructure. He didn't bring up "tankies" or "authoritarianism" again after that point.
