The term Tankie has a clear definition that Cowbee likes to ignore:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

I’m banned from a bunch of places cuz of an interaction with cowbee. If you haven’t checked out the account it’s kinda wild, like 20k posts in two years or something. Averaging like 30 posts a day, every single day, for two years.
Some might think they’re a paid ccp shill or something but I think they just do it for the love of the game. Always feel vindicated when I see other posts calling out cowbee’s shit.
It’s kinda sad when you look at it that way. I couldn’t imagine being that online. I couldn’t imagine being that online and still having time to engage with my actual life. And when you factor in the complete political weightlessness of their beliefs in reality, it just, damn. I couldn’t imagine putting that much effort into an online "movemen"t of like 100 people. The herculean task of moving a hamster wheel.
