What does tankie mean

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It's just an updated version of "commie" or "pinko" for anti communist who don't want to sound like cold war boomers.

I suppose it was probably coined by Silent Generationers, but it's modern usage is far more recent
