I got called a tankie by one of the worst people, formerly of world now feddit online, and when asked why they just said I don't need to prove anything and called me and others more names.

It's entirely meaningless which those who still worship Biden and Obama use because they think it's the dirtiest word out there as everyone just laughs at those who earnestly use it as a slur
