Yeah, you're not a tankie. I've seen people on here essentially saying Russia is doing completely normal things right now, definitely not corrupt, and it's citizens are not being lied to. They're tankies
And yet I’ve been banned from certain comms that have no tankies rules simply for stating I’m a communist. That’s why I say it’s a thought-killer. People who use tankie generally don’t allow themselves to see any nuance around anything that has any whiff of communism. (Which is getting a little off topic, as Russia definitely has nothing to do with communism now.)
