          Sure, but IRL and outside media I still hear “tankie” more than “commie,” and more importantly the original comment was made in the context of Lemmy.

            You’ve heard people use the term “tankie” IRL? Damn, even the most brainpoisoned libs I know don’t do that.

            Talk of raising wages or organizing collectively, or not agreeing with US imperialist foreign policy gets you labelled a commie / tankie by its witch-hunting, McCarthyite majority

            You’re telling me this statement is about Lemmy and not the US in general?
