I know that, dude. I'm saying this specific instance of the phrase as it refers to tankies is being used often enough that it's clearly a talking point. Its common usage by tankies to refer to tankies is way out of proportion to its prevalence in the English language. It's a top-down mandated talking point, like "blue MAGA" or "genocide Joe".
