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.

There are two camps. People will constantly try to drag you into one. They will get mad if you resist. They will call you a filthy centrist if you resist.
It doesn’t not matter what’s your political view, if it is not radical enough, if it does not align unquestionably with one of the camps, people will get mad.
This is just how it is nowadays.
