Liberals just call anyone they don’t like a tankie!
This is often true. There has been regular red-baiting of mild social democrat Jeremy Corbyn, recently accusing him of being a spy for East Germany in the '80s. The right wing of the Democrats at one point was calling any Bernie Sanders supporter a Russian-influenced alt-leftist. William Gillis of the Center for a Stateless Society recently said of us 'Remember when libcom was about as tankie and class-reductionist as you would ever encounter in the radical left, and we all viewed them as evil suspicious bastards because they wouldn’t all outright id as anarchists? ’ presumably due to our hosting and promotion of anti-state and post-Leninist Marxists.
Therefore if someone is using ‘tankie’, they may be objecting to a specific leftist ideology that prioritisies geopolitics over class struggle, or they might just be punching left. When liberals have a go at ‘communism’ they often mean the Soviet Union (and let’s be honest sometimes it’s tempting to tell people they’ll be first in the gulags after the revolution when they do this, especially if it’s fucking Jordan Peterson).
Yeah, violent rapists doing the lockeroom talk is just fine… /s
Edited: I missed other folks mention of the

Ugh, Alt-left was a contrived meme from the far right, who always project their own equivalent on the left. I’d be highly suspicious of anyone using it.
Just because there’s more than one grossly unfit candidate running against Biden in the 2024 election doesn’t mean there’s any reason to downplay how horrible it was that Republican voters backed a man who bragged about committing sex crimes in the 2016 & 2020 elections.
So he’s basically like a cheap bottle of mezcal?
Only if you also broke an old thermometer in it.
Yep. Or use bottled distilled water.

You guys… is this a simulation? Am I on the Truman Show?
Sorry, I wish I had a different answer for you.
Song that’s been in his head for a long while: 
All you have to do is follow the worm!
Bit of a relief, actually. I don’t want to have to apologize to the entire world for the terrible programming.
But then I think RFK Jr should maybe talk to someone to help him put some things in perspective.
Once again, IRL outdoes The Onion. Sarcasm cannot survive in the current environment, when every damned thing becomes a parody of itself.
