The thing is in your westoid brain, “praising authoritarian systems” just means “not wanting to bomb iran”.

How’s lockheed martin dick taste like? Enjoying it?

My own similar behavior? I’m not shoving gays into prison, you fucking idiot.

I mean there’s something very hypocritical in westerners, living in the countries who manufacture, sell, sometime give actual tanks all over the world, calling people “tankies” lmao

We get it, the ussr sent tanks in the 80ies. Your country sent tanks half a dozen time since then, idiot. There are tanks doing genocide right now in gaza.

Prove it

The term continued to be used into the 1980s, especially in relation to the split between the reform-minded eurocommunist wing of the CPGB and the traditionalist, pro-Soviet group, the latter continuing to be labelled tankies. The term is sometimes used within the Labour Party as slang for a politically old-fashioned leftist. Alastair Campbell reported a conversation about modernising education, in which Tony Blair said: “I’m with George Walden on selection.” Campbell recalled: “DM [David Miliband] looked aghast … [Blair] said when it came to education, DM and I were just a couple of old tankies.”[26] In 2015, Boris Johnson referred to Jeremy Corbyn and the left wing of the Labour Party as “tankies and trots”, the latter referring to Trotskyism.[27][b]

Used by great people like tony blair and bobo the clown lmao

What do you mean? They all voted for genocide.

Obsessions with “TAnKies” is very much a reddit / lemmy thing, or at least internet slang.

Before 2010 it was mostly used to mean “actual tank fighters”.

Liberals are homophonic.

They all sounds the same

USA is very much the “west”.

The “west” is a code for “country who think of themselves as white and civilised”.
