Named after the leftists who supported the Soviets brutality in Hungarian Revolution of 1956, when they sent into tanks to kill the student democratic uprising. Used by non-auth leftists for decades, past few years some centrists and rightists have started using it for anything left that they don’t like as calling everyone communists wasn’t working any more.

The irony of the use in respect to Ukraine is that they’re calling anyone not wanting to send tanks a tankie.

That’s not ironic, because they’re not calling for the tanks to crush innocent people but to stop imperialist invaders.
