Some people on Lemmygrad have started using “dronies” which is pretty funny.
What is the origin of it? :)

The term comes from a joke about people defending Obama’s strikes on civilians with the use of drones.
Why tankies?
It’s a reference to the Soviet tanks rolling into Hungary, and later Czechoslovakia, and the Western lefties (originally, the CPGB) who did not get disillusioned by the authoritarianism of the USSR at that time.
In 1956 the USSR rolled tanks into Hungary to stop a fascist counter revolution. Communists who correctly supported this action were labeled tankies.
