I almost never see this, but I see complaints about “tankies” all the time. I’m not even sure what a tankie is, but it seems about as stupid as the term “woke”.

Have a look at comments in any news article regarding Ukraine. They will simp for Russia just because they are not US allies.

A tankie is commonly used to refer to someone who blindly defends the actions of the USSR, China, North Korea, etc. Going as far as denying human rights abuses and genocide.

It’s not the same thing as woke.

I know it’s not the same as woke, the word just hits the same level of annoyingness for me.

I’m all for shutting down those who support Russia right now, I just feel like using buzzwords makes it more difficult to take people seriously.

The term goes back to the 50s and 60s, hardly a buzzword.

Sorry to tell you, but you’ve been living under a rock.
