Have you stopped beating your wife?

Ask a dozen people what “tankie” means and you’ll get a dozen conflicting answers. It’s a floating signifier for dismissing those to one’s political left. It’s a thought-terminating cliché rhetorical device.

And none of those dozen answers will correspond to how any of them actually use the word
