I've never been called a tankie, and neither have any of my friends or girlfriends. And we're all communists.
Maybe you're being called a tankie because you're a radical centrist.
.world definitely has a problem distinguishing between Tankies and leftists. I've literally had a guy argue with me that tankie and Bernie Bro were interchangeable because, "definitions change."
Well I love Bernie. When he told me he wasn't running in 2024, and he wanted me to support Kamala, I listened. And I've never been called a tankie. Maybe it comes down to individual differences.
I also voted for Kamala and I also haven't been called a tankie (at least yet). But I've seen multiple liberals on .world call leftists tankies, often without understanding the meaning. At first, I found it very strange, since I'd only ever seen that term used in leftist circles. It made more sense when I realized they picked it up from .ml, which, to be fair, had a lot of fucking tankies.
You're a tankie, you voted for someone who sent tanks to a genocidal regime, that makes you a tankie.
Now you can't say you've never been called a tankie.
I've only ever been called a tankie by a tankie who was making some kind of point
But you have been called a tankie
Which is pretty suspicious honestly
I was once called a tankie just for critiquing the fact that Kamala didn't clearify her positions on her campaign website, even though I voted for her anyway the fact that I didn't show unquestioning loyalty to the party makes me a tankie... Wait a minute... Demanding unquestioning loyalty to the party... Where have I heard that before?
Yeah but caring about that apparently makes me a "single issue voter" and a "tankie", liberals are absolute jokes
I've got bad news for you...
Isnt radical centrist an oxymoron?
Yeah, supporting workers and dictators at the same time is pretty oxymoronic. But it's perfectly balanced, as all things should be
That’s because nobody is called “tankie” in real life. No one has called me a “tankie” either. The term’s contemporary usage is a creature of social media. It’s a dumb, cringey online meme.
Hmmmmmmmmmm... nah. It's from the 1950s. They didn't have 9gag back then

I don't think you know what communism actually is.
You too, hun.
