I have been called one just for being critical of the US military, it's a catch all term for anyone that isnt strictly for capitalist imperialism. I consider it a soft resurgence of the red scare, I cringe each time I see it just like when I see the term lib.

Both the pro Russian and the pro america-no-matter-the-cost crowds just stink of stupidity imo

so given 90% of the planet believe normal Russian people aren't evil monsters, the default position is tankies?
