The problem isn’t with the meme conflating tankies with fascists in authoritarianism, it’s with the usage of the word tankie to refer to anything left of liberalism, that’s when this meme doesn’t apply. Tankie in the original sense (i.e. Stalinist), sure.
yeee not quite horseshoe theory tho, is it?
after all, the meme is just pointing out that both conservatives and tankies are pro-authority. said nothing about left and right
THERE IS NO LEFT AND RIGHT ONLY MASTER AND “THE LIBS”!
It’s all they have! How dare you take their only argument from them! /s
