I really appreciate the summary you provided. I’m sure the user that asked got downvoted for a reason. I’ve never felt comfortable asking myself. I’ve googled it, read other explanations, and have always decided I just don’t get it. A big part of that is I read comments that are all over the spectrum and have a response from somebody saying they are a tankie. I never even heard of the term until I got on here like two years ago and it just feels like it’s a “I disagree with you so I’m going to call you a niche name that’s popular only on this particular platform” vernacular.
I wish it would die out because it’s been so diluted of meaning in this community.
Did I sign up for some kind of course you’re instructing or do you just generally feel entitled to try grading engagement in an open community discussion?

This was answered multiple times in the days prior. Why did you only respond to the explanation that defends tankies?
