      I was talking more of “They don’t want transwomen on the womens fishing team? Clearly fascist!” But even that brittanica article can’t seem to come up with one good definition beyond “populist tyranny” which I guess works. And tankies definitely fall under that.

        “They don’t want transwomen on the womens fishing team? Clearly fascist!

        That’s its own different kind of bigotry, unrelated to this particular issue.

        And tankies definitely fall under that.

        And this is whataboutism. And again, fascists have historically killed communists, so you’re getting confused here. Tankies aren’t fascists, they’re bootlickers and authoritarians.
