Alright I’ve been on Lemmy for over a year now, ever since the API disaster with reddit. I keep seeing tankie. What the heck is a tankie?

Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.

A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves “socialist”. The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes “true democracies”. remember to censor usernames when necessary.

Please be sure to obscure usernames on posts to prevent doxxing.
