so just nazi-lite, just without most of the racism and bigotry. from what ive seen alot of them posting on here, comment the same way conservatives do, same shtick
Tankies are typically authoritarian communists, not Nazis, and antisemitism isn’t usually a part of their outlook. You’ll find far more fascists on other social media platforms.

Sorry for being confusing, but you are correct, tankies are not literal Nazis - I was referring to the Paradox of Tolerance whereby, as some may consider paradoxically, when we attempt to tolerate everyone then in reality we will become less free than if we would exclude those who would act to take freedom away from others (this logical principle is often called by the “Nazi bar” effect, where you yourself may not be an actual “Nazi”, or in our case a tankie, and yet by virtue of association we are seen as such by Redditors who might otherwise flock here and contribute much more content than we currently have here).
