    Tankie is a floating signifier. If you ask twenty liberals what a tankie is you’ll get

    1. Twenty different answers, and
    2. Several people upset at being called a liberal because they don’t have even a Wikipedia-level understanding of liberalism or socialism.

      100 percent agreed. They’ll group anything too far left of them under the same name. Don’t care anymore. If they want to whine then fuck it, I’ll wear the term.
