I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

A tankie is a fascist who wants everyone in the concentration camp to share a toothbrush. They’re typically rejects from their own community that crave revenge against people who want a truly better world, such as Barack Obama and Keir Starmer.
Please use /s tags, because its impossible to tell sarcasm otherwise. There are unfortunately a large number of ppl who believe your statement unironically.
Well I would prefer a clean game anyways, so I can manage that for sure
Did you drop this? I think it was meant to go at the end of your post, but maybe it fell off
</hyperbolic sarcasm>
Not sure what you mean. 🙂 Do I know you?
Just figured you might want to make it clearer when you drop weapons grade sarcasm like “Obama and Kid Starver want a truly better world” That’s really funny, but it can often be hard to distinguish dead-pan sarcasm apart from bootlicking of imperialist ass-hats on the internet without proper closing tags.
I don’t know that Kier Starmer wants anything concrete in particular, but tankies are certainly people who simp for dictatorships like Russia or China while claiming that the capitalist abusive governments of them are ‘communist’.
No communist “simps” for the Russian Federation, support for the RF extends to the fact that it does a lot of trade with socialist countries like China and Cuba, opposes western imperialism, and has a populace increasingly in support of a return to socialism. Communists do tend to support China, as China is a socialist country. Public ownership is the principle aspect of their economy.
Please point to a single person on Lemmy who calls the Russian government communist and supports it
Glad we pulled you out of your shell after a day of not commenting. This is a very low-quality reply. Try to make more high-quality replies to contribute to discussions on Lemmy. Thanks.
