    I see it on Lemmy often enough to be annoyed by it. On Reddit, before I left for good, it was an article of faith in tankie-controlled subreddits.

      So if it’s just a tankie thing why are you accusing broader leftists of it?

        It’s not just a tankie thing, unless the usage of tankie has expanded since I last checked. Tankie-controlled subreddits were frequented by far more than just tankies. Furthermore, it’s not all leftists, or even most leftists I’m accusing of this. My point is that it’s bizarre when self-proclaimed leftists do praise the Houthis, precisely because the Houthis are a far-right theocracy.
