I think this is actually pretty fair, but one thing I’ll add is that the implication of the word (being a reference to the use of tanks to put down revolts) is that tankies support the use of state violence against opposition
I have not found that to be true about many who are accused of being a tankie

And yet, they stan the CCP.
"Tankies are westerners that don’t think “China bad”
Excellent definition 👍
You slippin? The CCP and China aren’t the same.
Well fuck me, I thought the CPC was the single-party government of China, my bad.
Weird, does that mean being born in the U.S. automatically makes you a member of the U.S. govt?
Huh, when people criticize China, does that mean theyre not criticizing the government, but the people who are born there?
Remember that, like other forms of authoritarians, they are very comfortable lying.
