Those things people disgree on are entire political axioms, so yes it is much bigger than a meme. Tankies think strong men are a good thing, which should be antithetical to anyone with the faintest hint of actual big boy anarchy in their politics. Worshiping leaders OR positions is literally and directly antithetical to MUCH of the left.
OFC there will be infighting when most people don’t even understand what the left stands for. IMO, we shouldn’t even dignify tankies and other strong-men liking idiots with a label anywhere close to “left”. They’re just idiot fascists wearing a different coat to try and fit in.
