It’s the new word for “commie” that I’ve only ever seen on Lemmy. I’m guessing some people thought that was a bit too cliche.
‘Tankie’ has been a thing since tanks rolled into Eastern Europe in the 1950s…
Not new, Tankies have existed since Khrushchev sent tanks to shut down a revolution in Hungary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_Revolution_of_1956 And was a way to describe hardliners by the mid sixties.
I’ve seen it on Reddit a lot, but usually from UK and Australian users.
