There's dozens or harassment communities, if you say anything that's not pure, weapons grade condemnation of anything USSR or AES nuts accusations start getting levelled.

Internet communists have to be like the most irrelevant political bloc in the world. Even if you take the stance that everyone is hoping for a return of purges that's still just a completely irrelevant group. Most people I've seen being accused of tankyness is are more nuanced.

Wtf is going on. I thought it would settle down after the reddit migration faded.

I’m squaring what you’ve said here with my very anecdotal experience: I’m an American yet most people I see on Reddit (I don’t use Lemmy) who hate tankies tend to be from Eastern Europe. While not everyone in Eastern Europe loves the west of course, liberals there really do seem to be the biggest “pro-West” people on earth (while Americans I think tend to be more “pro-America” than “pro-West). So I think what you are saying tracks.
