I'm sure this is a super common question but why do people (generally liberals or sometimes people on the left) call basically everyone who mildly agree with current more authoritarian leaning socialist states tankies

I wouldn't nessicarily call myself a tankie but I can also fully understand why people feel that label fits them when so many people call so many perspectives tankie perspectives and just shove them in a corner

Not sure if that makes sense as a question but I hope it does

You're all good. It's good to ask and clarify. Sometimes responses are often also for those who maybe lurking but too afraid to ask. Hope my walls of text weren't too much. I too am learning.

Not too much, I just felt the need to clarify because I realized it could be misinterpreted as me being against something I in no way am against
