    Tankie is a pejorative referring to authoritorian communists, specifically those who support one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics. It was originally coined to refer to those who defended the Soviet suppression of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and the 1968 Invasion of Czechoslovakia, both of which involved the liberal use of, you guessed it, tanks. Over time, it has grown to encompass authoritarian leftists that support anti-western nations, e.g., Russia, China, and North Korea.

    There has been increased semantic drift as, much like woke is used by the right, tankie has started to mean “leftist I don’t like” in some circles.

    Massive Massengil Meltdown!

    Are you really trying to spin my mocking you for being a pathetic douche as “crying about it”? ROFLMAO You can’t even say anything original, you’re just aping your betters. “Cry more, cry more, I spend a lot of time with my gran trolling on Facebook, weeeeeping”.

    Good thing 4chan is back up, otherwise you’d run out of material. Thanks for the laugh, and I can’t wait to see what stupid shite you copy next! Maybe ask your gran for pointers first.
