I’m very OOTL when it comes to a lot of the major divides in online communities because thankfully I’ve managed to avoid most of the arguing. I’ve noticed a lot of instances say “no tankies” as one of their first rules and figured this might be the only place I could get a real answer.
Was there something specific they did to piss off everyone? If I had to take a shot in the dark, are they just people who are really pro-military?
The wikipedia is a pretty good write up. but generally you see it in European or multicultural spaces more than American centered, though it has entered the discussions, most no one knows what it means when they are using it.
I’ve found most use it to just refer to any communists at this point
