I’m a leftist who isn’t a tankie

To be clear. If you call yourself a leftist, and you pretend China isn't committing genocide, that makes you a tanky. That's what tankies are: people who claim to be leftists who support violent authoritarian regimes.

As a 5 eyes resident you seem like you're pretty supportive of the violent authoritarian USian regime.

Where, precisely, did I suggest that at all?

iirc the person you're replying to is an anarchist not an ML, so they're not a tankie, unless your definition of tankie is just "anybody who isn't extremely anti-china and believes literally whatever the same press that told us that North Korea had claimed to find a unicorn, that the cuban government was committing a genocide within its own borders and is currently doing apologia for a real genocide of innocent muslims"
