Tankies
I don’t think that liking the ideals of communism means that you want to bury all Putin related news or even that you support Putin at all. Russia hasn’t been communist for a very long time.
But the tankies on Lemmy are just bootlickers of a different kind of boot. They prefer the authoritarian and totalitarian version.
I keep hearing about all the tankies here, but I’ve never actually encountered one.
