Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

One was generically anti-genocide, one was anti-genocide in the context of the Palestinian genocide, namely, critiquing the idea that just because LGBT rights amongst a people being genocided are less than stellar doesn't mean that genociding them is okay or should be tolerated, even by LGBT folk.
Lord.
No war in Ba Sing Se. Pay no heed to all the photos of starving children and bombed aid workers, nothing to see here
It’s actually exceedingly easy to criticize Israel while acknowledging the truth that Hamas is a mafia-like oppressive terrorist organization.
You're getting downvoted because you're spewing hateful rhetoric and you are completely and utterly factually wrong from the very first concept that you had about this entire situation and nothing that you can say now can change that.
If you hate terrorists then what the fuck are you doing defending Israel like this?
Because I hate hamas
Two things can be bad at once.
Because they are committing genocide against Palestinians
It may come as a shock but both Israel and the Hamas are bad and need to stop
There is no good here, only death
This MF right now
I checked your bio.
Anime sucks
You do realize that Hamas are shithead terrorists, not Saturday morning cartoon villains, right?

Theres something that could be described as a genocide, but its in self defense from hamas. I dont know if its porportional or okay, but Israel is trying to genocide Hamas, in response to Hamas trying to genocide Israel.
Literal genocidal rhetoric from Israel's ruling government as they kill 1 out of every 100 Gazans alive before the start of the war.
Pretty sure they passed 'reckless' a while ago.
This may come as a shock, but discussions of Turkish attempts at genocide and ethnic cleansing of Kurds are actually quite a big deal amongst people who follow international politics.
Is the IDF acceptable as a source? The IDF claimed 10-12,000 'fighters' killed and a ~50% civilian casualty ratio - meaning by their own estimates, back in February, they'd killed 20-24,000 Gazans - or about 1-in-100 of the prewar Gazan population.
I don't give a fuck who started it. Genocide still isn't an acceptable response. There's a reason why support for Israel started high after Oct 7 and plummeted in the following months. And it's not because everyone decided antisemitism was going to be the next hot thing.
Stop being so purposefully stupid
Good news: I never did in the first place
I'm calling you an idiot for denying an obvious genocide. That doesn't require supporting the people in charge of those being genocided.
Meant to what?
Nice projection.
Stop being a purposeful idiot.
Yes, you are, good job!
The story it tells is that Israeli claims of accurate identification of Hamas militants is questionable at best.
There are two genocides occurring in Israel/Palestine. IDF against the Palestinian people, Hamas against the Israeli people. The only morally correct position is to be against both, correct? And to support the non-combatant civilians on both sides?
If you'll prove that you're willing to listen, instead of denying information you're not a personal fan of, maybe I will.
