I'm pretty good at picking things up from context, so I'm gonna say a tankie is someone opposed to the deployment of tanks against a captive civilian population, the police having tanks, and tanks' worth of tear gas being used on peaceful protestors?

(please don't reply with earnest answers to my question, thx)

EDIT - some of y'all are failing to follow this last instruction smdh

Its what happens when you eat too many beans too fast, you become a "gas" tankie

Its when you dump all your points into defense and endurance, you can "tankie" all the damage from the aggro.

Its where all your poo and pee go when you don't have city sewage and you flush the toilet, the "septic" tankie

Its a cute way to describing a large container for holding water for livestock, a "stock" tankie.
