Increasingly, "tankies" seem to cover any infraction against the approved anti-russian fervor;

if you are not convinced Russia blew up Nord Stream
if you are not convinced that Russia blew up a farmer and a tractor in Poland
if you are not convinced that Ukraines summer offensive is going all that well
if you believe normal Russian people are not evil monsters
if you are not convinced that Putin ordered the downing of Prigozhins plane

I have been called one just for being critical of the US military, it's a catch all term for anyone that isnt strictly for capitalist imperialism. I consider it a soft resurgence of the red scare, I cringe each time I see it just like when I see the term lib.

Both the pro Russian and the pro america-no-matter-the-cost crowds just stink of stupidity imo

so given 90% of the planet believe normal Russian people aren't evil monsters, the default position is tankies?

One might say they're grinding the term into uselessness.

One might say you yourself are obfuscating the meaning behind pro-russian rhetoric.

Thanks for helping prove my point.
