Remember kids, Tankies wants to undermine democracy - same as facists.

    Tankie has been a thing for over half a century.

    Disingenuous in regards to their point.

    “Cuckold” had been in use for a long time before it’s cultural adoption in 2015 too. They weren’t disputing the appropriate use the term, they were clearly commenting on the shift from appropriately-applied usage to the saturation within the cultural lexicon as a buzzword. Why is this thread full of disingenuous asides and non-sequiturs?

      Well i and other people that i know were using the term for at least 10 years. I even had a friend break up partly because the other person was a tankie. Maybe the term was less common in other countries.

      Also tankie definition hasnt changed nor has been appropriated as a general slur. It has always meant communist who supports authoritarian policies.
