Weird meme this one. I'm 100% against tankies, or at least the type of communist here who seems hellbent on defending regimes like the Chinese communist party or (especially weird) Putin's Russia. There's plenty of stuff wrong about western nations, but that is no excuse for defending dictators and authoritarian regimes. And I'm definitely not the angry pepe in the image, because by all classifications I would be part of the "woke left".
The point is the word "tankie" is quickly becoming as vague and useless as "woke". Mearsheimer and Chomsky get called tankie nowadays for crying out loud. In three years when the USA Gulf of Tonkins itself in the Taiwan Strait, people are going to call you a tankie for dodging the draft!
