What are tankies?
People who call themselves leftists and anti imperialists. But in reality they shill for any dictator who opposes the US Hegemony. They do not give a shit about the people who suffer under the regimes they love. They inexplicably love dictators from Stalin to Putin, from Mao to Assad.
The term originates from when the Soviet Union overthrew the people’s councils in Hungary with tanks early in the Cold War. Some people in the west supported this act because the Soviet Union did it, therefore it was good.
Fuck authoritarian fucks.
The arch-nemesis of the libs.
