This is not false equivalence at all, not even a little bit. Either you are completely misunderstanding the text in the image or you don’t actually know what a false equivalence is. Or both (it’s probably both).
You can be both anti - tankie and anti - USA.
No shit, no one is saying otherwise. The OP image is not claiming that someone can’t be “both anti-tankie and anti-USA.” Nowhere is that implied, and it clearly is possible to be foolish enough to be both those things. That does not change the fact that when you hold “anti-tankie” positions, those positions are aligned with the US even if you consider yourself anti-USA.
Take the issue of support for China: sure, you can be “anti-tankie” and thus erroneously believe that the CPC is an evil dictatorship while also hating the fascist US, but despising China is still aligning with the US on that position. Or for another example, take the issue of support for Ukraine: sure you can be “anti-tankie” by throwing your support behind the neo-Nazi state of Ukraine while simultaneously being “anti-USA,” but your support of Ukraine is still taking a position in alignment with the US. And that is what the OP image is referring to. There is zero false equivalence there, regardless of your stance on “tankies.”
The other people responding to your comment are mostly focusing on pointing out the ignorance of being “anti-tankie” while also thinking you oppose the US, and they are right for doing so. But they are missing (or just glossing over) the fact that it’s your comment that is not logically sound, as it is based on a faulty premise. A little ironic that your claim of a fallacy is itself so obviously fallacious.
