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.

Amazing that I actually agree with these dweebs on so many things, but I still can't stand them.
I think a lot of the ideals they want are good and something I agree on. However their worldview is so narrow that they see everything that is seen as opposite to capitalism as good. Even countries that commit crimes even worse than some of the most capitalist countries. Then there are also a bunch of trolls and assholes there who are incapable to discuss why they like or dont like something
That's because they've all got the emotional maturity of an obnoxious 12-year-old. They haven't got a clue what they're talking about and are incapable of nuance.
They'd be alright if they actually followed the rules of social discourse rather than acting the way they do and posting their shit pictures.
It's not that surprising. Their politics are mostly fine. They are just assholes.
I'd love to see what their actual answers were.
