It’s gotten to the point where even the mildest effective leftism will have at least one idiot crying tankie.
I’ve seen a lot of anarchists get called tankies even.

This is on the money. You’re driven by the same urges the bourgeois were in the 1950s to call anybody to their left a commie, but it’s 2024 and calling somebody to your left a commie feels hollow (particularly when that’s what the Republicans have been calling you and the people you vote for your entire life). Tankie is a “new” way to call somebody a commie and it makes you feel a little bit erudite and nuancey.
