You ever see Tankies outside of Lemmy or old CTH on reddit? Because Ive been organizing since my 20s and met just one in real life. I would be flabbergasted if there were more than 1% of the figures you pointed out were tankies, let alone 10%. Also tankies don't believe in voting and are still dwarfed by other sources of misinformation. The tankies make themselves nice and loud, they're very easy to ignore. Unlike the types of propaganda that get injected into Meta platforms and Twitter. I still think you're swinging at ghosts because its easy to do.
Lets say tomorrow there are no more tankies, they magically never existed in the english speaking world, what actually changes for the US?

Theres more flat earther Millennials than tankies by either estimation we use too. Can't wait for them to influence foreign policy.
