I’ll be honest, don’t know how to answer that question but I’d like to be able to. I have a lot of the same beliefs as other people who say they’re leftist but sometimes the one or two conservative-ish viewpoints I have bring me into conflict with leftists. Not by my choice, just in my experience some people can’t deal if you aren’t 100% in lockstep with them.
True that, but there’s a difference between debate and disagreement, and unhealthy infighting.
and fighting with tankies is not infighting, because they are a threat to the values of the left.
In all seriousness, a lot of people on the left think very critically about their beliefs and struggle with accepting others after becoming so thoroughly dedicated to their own. This is something we need to overcome for trivial things, for sure.
But, as you said, tankies are a threat. They call for unity to simply to gather forces to oppress others until they can turn and oppress the same leftists they called to for unity.

What even are leftists without infighting?

Sorry, I was mostly being sarcastic.
