Nazi: When somebody on lemmy says this, they aren’t talking about literal jackboot historical underlings of Adolf Hitler, but instead referring to anyone who isn’t firmly on the progressive side of the political aisle.

Tankie: far right lunatic who delusionally believes they’re a communist (or trollingly roleplays as what they believe one to be), despite defending authoritarian oligarchic states like Russia or China.
For instance, the Lemmy devs (and lemmy.ml admins).
Mostly people who get called nazis are saying fascist stuff. So while the term nazi isn’t correct it is meant as an insult to their ideolegy by drawing a line to past fascists.
