I think they have upped the amount of fuzzing more recently too.

For me personally I would define a tankie as some one who cares more about the name of what they are supporting as compared to the actual outcome. eg someone that supports the CCP because it calls itself communist or Russia for the same reason. But just saying that the CCP is not the bogeyman* that the US says that it is does not fall into that category for me.

If someone said that china was actually a communist paradise and that all of the bad things were western propaganda I would think they were a tankie. If they said that China was a country they enjoyed living in and it was not as bad as it is often portrayed as I would probably think that that person was not a tankie.

Edit: boogie man --> bogeyman. (thank you Ilovethebomb)

you don’t know that im not afraid of people that can dance.

I like your definition. The centering of a strong man type does seem to tie into why a lot of the fall into the type of thinking that leads to being a tankie. very similar to maga and the other fascist movements that seem to be taking root in other parts of the world.

I mean… they are painted red from the blood that they have spilled.

ngl I solely based it off of oogie boogie for how to spell it at first.

I feel you may have misjudged this group then. That is part of why I made this post to try and get a consensus as to what the people of this community define as tankies and it is surprisingly consistent for something that you claim has lost all meaning.

How do you solve that though?

Republicans have not cared about the decorum that the democrats have been trying to uphold since at the very least the second Obama term likely longer.

Democrats are refusing to employ the same tactics that the republicans use against them when they are in power.
