              You’re on ML and you don’t know what a tankie is?

              Okay, so I recommend you get a different instance (.world if you don’t have an opinion) because you’re in an unhealthy and culty echo chamber.

              Tankies are people who pretend to be leftists while supporting authoritarian regimes. They care most about what’s worst for the United States, and will advocate for it regardless of how many people get hurt. They argue against voting and lionize Russia, China, etc. Weird, bad, and creepy folk.

                  Complaining about the United States geopolitics is not why the guy got downvoted. The problem is that they insinuated that it’s invalid to complain about tankies because of those failings. It was an absolutely asinine comment.
