The average lib who uses tankie has no idea of its origins, and it’s origins are now so irrelevant as it has nothing to do with the groups that are labeled. Only liberals bring up the Hungary thing instead of discussing how the term is used in modern context
So you think it will just never be used in mainstream media like I was saying?
probably not, it's too online and embarrassing an they've already built up enough propaganda around "communist" and "authoritarian" to drop those terms. Mainstream Liberals love being taken seriously. It's only online they will lower themselves.
