    There are far more people foaming at the mouth about tankies – like a someone out of the 50s screaming about communists – than actual tankies.

      There are a few threads I’ve seen happen – and instigated – where I was overwhelmingly downvoted by tankies yelling at me about “anglo/western fascism” and denying the uighur genocide. They defend the Chinese government with a fervor that easily marks them as tankies. It’s a real problem.

      I’ve seen my fair share of tankies on this platform, it’s a very real problem.
