    TIL that an uncomfortably large number of people on Lemmy don’t know what the fuck a Tankie is, but think they do.

      People on Lemmy call people opposing war and the military industrial complex Tankies.

      It can be uncanny the gambit the term runs here.

        Gotta imagine there’s a lot going on to poison the well. Doesn’t take much to cause in fighting around these parts.

      Tankie is almost always “socialist I don’t like” or even “anyone to the left of Mussolini”.
