I had no idea what a tankie was until I read the comments here.
I can't Ctrl+F on my phone, can you tell me?
People who support fascist governments - specifically, Russia, China, North korea.
They will also rightly say things about how America does bad things too. And that is true. It's ok to admit that.
They, on the other hand, will never admit that Russia or China is ever doing something unethical or wrong.
I've never seen a Tankie claim that Russia, China, North Korea, etc. are good governments that are always ethical. It's almost always a comparison between the US and these other authoritarian countries that they get stuck on.
