what is a tankie?
Bootlickers, of the communist variety. Not very nuanced people. The type of people who deny the atrocities of Soviet era countries, and some are even dumb enough to support North Korea and the current regimes of China and Russia. Some are from troll farms sponsored by those countries.
An apologist for communist dictatorships, who turn a blind eye to - or even justify - their human rights violations.
I didn't realise there was a word for it! Thanks!
