What is a tankie? Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to
authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by
such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to
those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics,
whether contemporary or historical. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

I hadn't put it together yet, but I'm realizing that "tankie" is just the liberal version of "woke". Much like conservatives call anyone left of them "woke", liberals call anyone left of them "tankie".
@Awoo@hexbear.net did a whole writeup on that idea a few months ago. IIRC the youtuber Hakim made a similar point in his video about tankies.
Ty, linked it.
where?

I 100% agree with you.

Damn this is good. I love the idea of turning these idiotic states back on their users. Like LGBTQ+ reclaiming queer for example. Or calling conservatives emotional snowflakes
