There is a simple test to determine if you're a tankie, specifically.

  1. Did Tiananmen Square happen? Specifically, was it bloody, consented/orchestrated by the CCP leadership, and resulted in the deaths of unarmed civilian protesters?

  2. Was it wrong that it happened?

If both answers are yes, you're not a tankie. You believe that oppressive regimes are evil regardless of which side of the political spectrum it spawns from.

Bonus points if you think Stalin was anything but benevolent. If you think his methods were "tough, but firm," then you're a tankie.

Wasn't tankie originally cold war British Communist slang to refer to people who agreed that the Hungarian revolution of 1956-1968 Was funded by the CIA and that rolling the tanks in was as such an appropriate response

(No I don't have this memorized so I had to double check but that was the original meaning)

Don't forget sensory deprivation tanks! Oh and nitrous oxide tanks (my personal favorite). You probably shouldn't combine those. Or maybe do, I'm not your dad.

And septic tanks, though those are definitely not going to give you sensory deprivation.

POV: It's 1902, the year before the modern tank (self-propelled cannon) was imagined
