I’d say that by tankie they mean people who have modern support of russia, and people who deny the Ughyur genocide. The term is used for those people because supporting Authoritarian Communism usually “comes with the territory”, so to speak.
I don’t see any other answer to the other question than: “person in america”. How/why could it be different?
but naturally the OOP is unable to confront her own brainworms here,
I don’t think support of russia, a modern, liberal capitalist state has much to do with whether or not you believe ughyur genocide reporting.
Tankie generally seems to just mean “someone who disagrees with me”, as it rolls around picking up new interpretations to be wielded against different people. A completely amorphous term.
When people say tankie, they typically mean Authoritarian Communist,
Typically, people who support this will oppose U.S imperialism, which is good! But they will support states like russia because they oppose the U.S, even though russia would do much more damage if they had the ability.
the complete and utter lack of evidence of the so-called genocide? what convinced you that it’s real? please share! if you can provide me with a single shred of evidence that it’s real i will straight up renounce my tankie beliefs forever. the burden of proof is very plainly on those claiming something as serious as genocide. it is frankly a disgusting western myth that trivialises actual genocide and any kind of digging around the English language sources claiming it’s real will lead you to Adrian Zenz, the German Christian fundamentalist who just pulls this shit out of his ass because it’s profitable.
Sometimes I forget there’s still people that buy into the “ughyur genocide” thing even years after various international courts found little, and the people propagating it were found to just be making stuff up in pursuit of an ideological crusade against china for some reason.

And what are those?
Modern Russia or the USSR?
Modern russia.

the 'Uyghur genocide" is fictitious.
What’s the proof of that?

The U.N says they are guilty of human rights violations https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/08/1125932

That is not how proof works. You cannot prove a negative. Did you pay any attention in school at all?
The burden of proof is on existence.
I would take lack of proof as proof as well.
The burden of proof is on those who claim that there is a genocide. This shouldn’t be difficult to understand.
