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.
