Agreed 100%. People also use "Nazi" way too liberally, and it's really off-putting and cheapens the term for actual Nazis.
And there's only so much nuance I'm going to put into a comment, but for "tankie," I generally mean those who support authoritarian regimes because they stand up to the US, not because of their actual ideology. Supporting China, Russia, and NK in the same breath is nonsensical, especially since only one of those is actually somewhat communist and one is explicitly not. I get it, there are a lot of reasons to dislike the US, but that doesn't make Russia and NK "good."
And yeah, online discourse sucks, probably because we self-organize into echo chambers. Reddit was less bad when I joined, but pretty much any reasonably popular SM is problematic now.
