No, you'll get called a tankie for being a bolshevik and promoting authoritarianism. Literally no one is calling liberals tankies. The only people I've ever even seen using the word tankie are leftists, the sane ones, who are using it to deride authoritarian-minded leftists whose goal seems to be to make every leftist space a miserable, hellish, and hostile environment for anyone less left than a bolshevik.

Tankies give the right wing all the pretext they need to justify the caricatures they paint of the entire left as being "radical communist extremists" or whatever other bullshit they say.

Stop pretending tankies are some protected class that's being persecuted and we all need to handle them with kiddie gloves so we don't hurt their feefees. It's not the same thing as islamophobia at all, and it's preposterous that you would even attempt to equate the two. Also, this isn't fucking reddit.
