Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.
A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

For those unaware, Houthi is one of the most extreme groups of jihad terrorists in the Middle-East, their flag is as follows:
"God is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Cursed be the Jews, Victory to Islam".
A lot of tankies' ideology boils down to "west bad, thus critical support to anyone who is against the west".
Yeah I don't get why people support those fighting against genocide
