    How about “selfish accelerationist asshole larping communism to advocate for imperialisms that aren’t the West’s”?

      That’s one of the few good definitions tbh

      However, most of the time liberals or so called social democrats/democratic socialists just say ‘tankie’ to everyone to the left of them

        To be honest, I only see this in posts like oop, where it’s clear that it’s astroturfed. Maybe it’s the circles that I am in, but every time I see the word used in a wild, it’s always used more or less correctly

          rly? From my perception it’s a rare case that it’s used coherently.
          And as I said more often than not, just as a “someone to the left of me” or “someone I don’t like”- type slur
