If we’re talking about Hungary 56 or the Prague spring then anyone using the word as a pejorative doesn’t know the history and/or what’s going on now. They could just be wildly reactionary I guess.
If we aren’t talking about those specific events then using it as a pejorative outs the speaker as someone with a bad case of brainworms. I guess it’s less lack of education in that case and more being so propagandized you can’t tell up from down but whatever.
Lately?
People on the internet using the word tankie.
Why? Actually curious
