It's gotten to the point where even the mildest effective leftism will have at least one idiot crying tankie.

I've seen a lot of anarchists get called tankies even.

At some point it'll stop being a pejorative as it's normalized and used more and more. Maybe even become a sort of playful term like "commie" has become these days.

Then some new pejorative for leftists will become prevalent, and the cycle repeats until we have a revolution)
