Yeah, it's kind of lost all meaning. I've seen Marxists call Liberals tankies, and I've seen Liberals calls Marxists tankies. I've seen right wingers call Leftists tankies, and I've seen Leftists call Centerists tankies. I know where the word came from, and who the first tankies were but I rarely know what a person's intent is with that word anymore. Maybe it's just young people slang now and I'm just too old to get it.

Because I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what's it seems weird and scary. And it'll happen to you!
