I feel like that list isn't complete. What about Libtard and demo-rats. Is libturds a thing?
- I think I hear those more from right-wingers than tankies tbh
  
  All authoritarians hate liberals.
  
  Sometimes you catch a demo-rats, democraps, or demonrats from 'Very Serious Leftists'.
- "westoid"
  
  Crackkker (and variant spellings) is another one that pops up from time to time.

Conspiracy theory: tankie triad is CIA psyop aimed to make communist community look unpalatable in the eyes of average leftist

Literally had that happen to me yesterday

Despite not being a communist, I left .ml because I got so sick of the shit flinging from folks on .world, not for anything I experienced from the mods or other .ml members. They were fine.
¯(ツ)_/¯

  Here, I brought receipts of this exact meme playing out of them protecting an "in crowd" member. A mere 24 hour timeout for calling people scum and "shitlibs" when anybody else even mentions "tankie" gets 14/30 day bans
  
  Oh I'm sure it happens, assholes are everywhere.
  IME, a lot more of them were giving me (or others) shit solely for being from .ml than were ever from .ml though. As I said, it literally drove me off of .ml because I got so tired of it. It's a great, socially acceptable way to adhom someone on Lemmy rather than engage with their argument though, I'll give you that.
