Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-authoritarian perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind, and strictly no authoritarianism or genocide denial.
- Tankies get expedited access to our exclusive Vibe-Based Moderation, a premium service that includes a shiny addition to their modlog, for FREE!
- Strictly no blanket downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
- We don't talk about rule #4.
- As this is a pro-genAI instance, there is absolutely no complaining about posts created with the use of AI allowed.
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

I'd say that by tankie they mean people who have modern support of russia, and people who deny the Ughyur genocide. The term is used for those people because supporting Authoritarian Communism usually "comes with the territory", so to speak.
I don't see any other answer to the other question than: "person in america". How/why could it be different?
And what are those?
What's the proof of that?
The U.N says they are guilty of human rights violations https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/08/1125932
Investigations showed that there were forced sterilisations: https://apnews.com/article/269b3de1af34e17c1941a514f78d764c
I would take lack of proof as proof as well.
When people say tankie, they typically mean Authoritarian Communist,
Typically, people who support this will oppose U.S imperialism, which is good! But they will support states like russia because they oppose the U.S, even though russia would do much more damage if they had the ability.
Modern russia.
