Get the Tank Run mug.
Your average person in the former USSR who grew up with a Soviet, communist mentality. Typically an old, middle aged boomer who likes watching cringy Russian bandit movies in their spare time who just wants to go back to how it was in their childhood.
Tankies are usually very for strict gender roles and patriarchy, homophobic, and ableist (unless it's a: narcissist, alcoholic, psychopath, or some other harmful disability).
They also hate technology and think GPS navigation makes people retarded, and really hate swearing and children enjoying anything edgier than Dora the Explorer (I.e SpongeBob)
Despite being raised atheist, they're usually into Islam or Christianity on a surface level, depending on what former Soviet country do they come from. They also typically encourage narcissist-like behavior and assholery in people.
Authentic tankies that aren't LARPers on weird political circlejerk communities aren't commonly found outside former USSR countries.
