    Hi just migrated from Lemmy.ml. just wondering what a tankie actually is? I’ve heard it used a lot especially on Lemmy. My guess is some kind of pro CCP kind of communist but that’s my best guess

    Edit: Nvm just googled it. Its pretty much what I wrote.

        Does that mean most Americans are tankies when it comes to Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians 🤔

        **Clearly struck a cord with the bloodthirsty genocide supporters
