    That’s what I’m saying, it isn’t. It’s used willy nilly in debates, regardless of the other users political allegiance. OP of this post got called a tankie two days ago lol.

    What it means and what it’s actually being used for are two different things.

      I think we’ve had different experiences on how we’ve seen it used. Almost always I’ve seen it it has been used by a leftist towards some other leftist (well socialist, communist) who was supporting China, Russia, Iran, maybe Houthis nowadays and so on.
