Tankies are fascists, so this isn’t surprising.

powerful "leopards eating faces" energy from the tankies. I wish them luck with the anti-communist death squads outlined in project 2025

They're Tankies, their entire ideology is feline face eating based. Russia SO KNOWN for how well it treats minorities and LGBT people!

Has anyone else noticed that a shit ton of .ml bots have been very active here over the last day or so? These accounts aren’t new. But they also haven’t been active in these communities.

Harris may replace Biden and they have to try to get people predisposed to not voting for Harris either.

Not that meme is wrong, but the account that posted that comment is 3 days old and is clearly a troll.

There are a bunch of regular posters here that think the exact same way.

We need a new name for Russian state sponsored spam other than "troll", which should be restored to the original status as a perpetually online nerd who enjoys starting arguments.

Is "Tankies" a new term? I've never heard it before a week or two ago.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 months ago (3 children)

It's decades old. Refers to people who support communist regimes regardless of what they do. Originally because the Soviet Union used tanks to quell rebellion and some people in the west still cheered for them.

I believe it was coined by the British left when the USSR quashed the Hungarian revolution by driving tanks through their streets. Anyone still in support of them is deemed a "tankie." Nowadays it was meant to criticize authoritarian communists.
