I know it's not the same as woke, the word just hits the same level of annoyingness for me.
I'm all for shutting down those who support Russia right now, I just feel like using buzzwords makes it more difficult to take people seriously.
The term goes back to the 50s and 60s, hardly a buzzword.
Sorry to tell you, but you've been living under a rock.

I never saw that word used until I came to lemmy. I had to look it up and found that exact same wiki page for it.
Just because its a real word with a wiki page doesn't make it any less annoying to constantly see on here. And only here. I see that word on NO other sites I ever visit.
I've seen "tankie" in leftist discussions on multiple sites for ages before I joined Lemmy.
And just because you first encountered a word in some place doesn't mean that word originated in that place.
