Unless your politics are to the right of Joe Biden, you’re going to get called a tankie.

Hyperbole, I think.

Somewhat, yes. More accurate would probably be anyone to the left of AOC

That doesn’t seem true though, most actual leftists don’t like tankies and the people on Lemmy complaining about tankies seem to mostly be leftists themselves. Tankies are like LaRouchites, no one takes them seriously because the things they profess tend to be silly and they usually have that obnoxious College freshman master-debater energy. It’s not a left or right thing.

It gets thrown around too much honestly, if it was just people simping for authoritarian regimes, sure, but it really does get tossed toward anyone “too left”.
