The tankie: West Bad, East Good. Defends capitalist countries like Russia and China while claiming to be a communist. Finds whatever few evidence to "prove" that Eastern Capitalism is less racist/more progressive than Western Capitalism. Or they're just socially conservative themselves. Would rather work 996 in China than live in the West.
The enlightened centrist: claims to be the centrist, but defends free market economics and social conservatism all the time. Spending more time fighting the left than fighting the right. Thinks neoliberal Democrats are "far left radicals". Probably claims to not agree with Trump but votes Republican anyway.
The "socialist" hawk: claims to be a socialist, probably libertarian socialist but STRONGLY, I mean STRONGLY defend the US and NATO. More interventionist and warmongering than literal Reagen. Supports more war to spread peace or whatever. And incredibly racist against Chinese people while vehemently "opposing" racism only in the US. Probably also supports "vote blue no matter who because lesser evil". Yeah, and spends all the time criticizing Marxists, rarely criticize neoliberals, despite claiming to hate neoliberalism.
The TERF in denial: denies to being a TERF but spread TERFy arguments whenever possible. Unironically supports bio-essentialism and the "all men bad" narrative. Doesn't give a damn about economic and racial problems, like gender is the only one defining trait of the human race and they view gender in a strict, binary way: women good, men bad. Also somehow hates some other women for not being "feminist enough" or "women enough".
The "lib" (read: auth) right: claims to be libright but supports all the alt right culture war bullshit. And incredibly bigoted against minorities. "Supports" free speech but in reality just supports hate speech, silences any left-wing dissents. Also somehow believe that the Democrats are radical communist Marxists or whatever. Flairs libright for some unknown weird reason, doesn't seem lib at all except paying lip service to liberty and freedom.
Annoying in terms of being annoying for being a stereotype or annoying in terms of being a commonly encountered person?
Personally I don't like tankies but I respect them for having a fairly consistent worldview.
