Yes, it was started as an observatory of lemmygrad.ml, but it's also relevant to lemmy.ml and hexbear.net (the Tankie triad). There are also !tankiejerk@lemmy.world, which just focuses on all kinds of tankies from all instances, !fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which focuses on disinformation (again, from all instances) and !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which focuses on moderator overreach (for all instances). It's also the official, approved and recommended way of complaining about mod action here on lemmy.dbzer0.com.

what political theorist created this? or is it just a random meme sourced from a dream?

It originated somewhere here on Lemmy, can't find the original post, only a comment that references it: https://lemmy.zip/comment/10082020 (I know that this is not the original post/comment, because that commenter is on lemmy.zip, so they can't upload media to lemmy.dbzer0.com's pictrs instance)

I'm not saying this is a fact, or anything scientific (I'm sorry if it appeared that way), but I personally find it pretty accurate, and many people here agree

interesting i personally find it pretty inaccurate as is the case with all statements based on personal anecdote when you examine the material actions and political theory of your so-called tankies you can that your meme is just that

No political theorist. It’s a meme based on horseshoe theory, which is discredited by academics.
