Didn't the term technically originate from when the soviets sent tanks into Hungary though? That happened a while after Stalin was gone.Isn't tankism just uncritically defending Stalin's USSR, as opposed to just being a marxist? There are degrees of commie after all.

I didn't think I would actually see somebody defend gamergate. I sort of had the impression that the people involved with it were embarassed by now. The whole point if "gamers are dead" was that everyone is a gamer these days. That gamer culture could just be called culture. The same way there is no film-goer culture or book-reader culture. But any given statement was a pretext at the anger over people having opinions on video games they didn't like, plus misogyny.
As noted previously, editing can make many things look nefarious, whether or not they are.

State and county officials, including investigators for the secretary of state's office, said that the video clip making the rounds show the normal tabulation process. No monitors were told to leave, but Republican monitors and members of the media left when some election employees called "cutters" wrapped up for the night.
Georgia law § 21-2-408 spells out the rules for partisan poll watchers, allowing them to be present and monitor aspects of the elections process. But having monitors there is not required — and in fact, Democrats did not have monitors present at that time.
As for the so-called suitcase full of ballots allegedly removed from under the table? It was empty, the state's investigator said.
"There wasn't a bin that had ballots in it under the table," Frances Watson told Lead Stories. "It was an empty bin and the ballots from it were actually out on the table when the media were still there, and then it was placed back into the box when the media were still there and placed next to the table."
Furthermore, elections officials say there was nothing abnormal about the tabulation of ballots shown on the video.
"What the video shows is that they have pulled out plastic bins from underneath the desks," Fulton elections director Rick Barron said Friday morning. "It was normal processing that occurred there, as Gabe Sterling from the state explained this morning."
Sterling, the state's voting system implementation manager, said that investigators for the state watched the full surveillance video from Election Day and said those bins of ballots were already there and accounted for earlier in the day, while both monitors and the media were there.
A monitor appointed by the state election board had also briefly left and returned at 11:52 p.m. and another state investigator was there starting at 12:15 a.m. The final ballots were scanned around 12:43 a.m.

It might help to not post something that is very clearly lying....Fact Checking Rudy Giuliani's Grandiose Georgia Election Fraud Claim
The president's legal team came to a Georgia State Senate hearing Thursday to share allegations of fraud and misconduct with Georgia's election. Most of the claims were false, misleading or lacking actual evidence.www.gpb.org
The state had monitors there because the SoS office didn't trust Fulton County to not screw up.
Because sorry NPR, unlike you I apparently watched more then some cut down youtubers version of the video. Because I actually saw them pull out the suitcases full of ballots from under the table.No, there were no 'suitcases of ballots' counted in secret
No they don't, and yes it does qualify as "how Georgia counts ballots.Containers of ballots opened in the presence of partisan observers and placed in these containers earlier in the video, and counted in the presence of Georgia SoS observers do not qualify as nefarious "suitcases of ballots". They qualify as 'how Georgia counts ballots'.
Containers of ballots hidden under desks from before the start of the day and counted at a time when select members of the watchers were informed of a non existent pipe burst and informed counting was done for the day is how Georgia counts votes huh? Well alright, your the American Elections expert here I guess.Containers of ballots opened in the presence of partisan observers and placed in these containers earlier in the video, and counted in the presence of Georgia SoS observers do not qualify as nefarious "suitcases of ballots". They qualify as 'how Georgia counts ballots'.
No, but the Republican Voting System Implementation Manager for the state of Georgia is, and his tweet and Facebook posts are further up.
The "Fact Check" the guy posted is a site posting his public statement on the contents of the video. So his proof of the "legality" of the action sums up to "those were normal containers", "there were no ballots in them anyway", "somebody from my office was there so there was oversight", all of which are just points from his statement and the article ends with a quote about Georgia law sayingNo, but the Republican Voting System Implementation Manager for the state of Georgia is, and his tweet and Facebook posts are further up.
You mean the person who has negative credibility?No, but the Republican Voting System Implementation Manager for the state of Georgia is, and his tweet and Facebook posts are further up.
