Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.
A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

People: "Come to the fediverse, there are no fascists, everything is cool and free of toxicity."
The fediverse: tankies, people who simps for tankies, genocidal apologists, harassment...
There are definitely fascists on the fediverse, they don't use the reddit-like (lemmy/kbin) part of the fediverse since exploding-heads shut down.
exploding-heads are fascists, but I wasn't talking about them.
