What are tankies? What does sea-lioning mean?locked
I've run across these terms several times, but without enough context to figure out what they mean. Could someone help me out, please?

Sealioning is a sort of evolution of JAQing off. It's the JAQ coupled with feigned innocence and indignance when people actually stop putting up with BS.
Actually after thinking a bit deeper about it, it mirrors Socratic Questioning, but with the opposite intended end goal of muddying the waters instead of gaining clarity.
