  • I’m in the US and “lefty” might mean something different for me than it does for you. Where I live and the sites I go on - have leftys on there but no, they never use the term tankie.

    As I mentioned, it’s used in discussion circles with leftists beyond center left (i.e. someone who’s more left than Bernie Sanders): Anarchists, Marxists, Maoists, etc. Lemmy might be the only site you go to that has a sizable proportion of these.

    On Reddit, if you go to places like r/anarchism, r/socialism, r/stupidpol, you get to see it being used.

    Annoying is an opinion yes, but I’m saying its annoying because of how often it is brought up.

    It’s brought up a lot here because there are a lot of them on lemmy. You’d never hear people around your neighborhood complain about something that doesn’t happen in your neighborhood.

    Maybe you are not seeing as many because your instance might block them. But I see them all the time is news articles about Ukraine or North Korea.

    I see that there’s a discussion thread that goes on about this, not gonna get involved on that.
