Increasingly, "tankies" seem to cover any infraction against the approved anti-russian fervor;

  • if you are not convinced Russia blew up Nord Stream
  • if you are not convinced that Russia blew up a farmer and a tractor in Poland
  • if you are not convinced that Ukraines summer offensive is going all that well
  • if you believe normal Russian people are not evil monsters
  • if you are not convinced that Putin ordered the downing of Prigozhins plane

so given 90% of the planet believe normal Russian people aren't evil monsters, the default position is tankies?

One might say you yourself are obfuscating the meaning behind pro-russian rhetoric.
