Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
(caution of bias)
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 or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.
He may have been evil, but he wasn't a dictator. Get your facts straight, libs!
Could you imagine how many people would completely nuked that guy if he was defending Hitler?
I don’t get it. How can someone not recognize they’re doing the same thing, just changing the names?
Because these people are not operating in good faith, though even I am a bit surprised at how well this "herp derp mask off" thread is being received, even for hexbear.
The site seems to be imploding a bit after federation tbh. At first they were trying to be all "hey libs look at how intellectual redfash can be" but it seems like they didn't get many takers and are now just going full poe's law
Upton Sinclair once wrote, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” He was mostly right, this is also true about personal identity.  From spending a bunch of time hanging around in anti-conservative libertarian spaces, I met a bunch of people in the early years of this movement (and in the spirit of full disclosure, I did occasionally use the spirit of communism as a repudiation of thoughtless defenses of capitalism). It’s absolutely about anticapitalism and a reactionary swing 100% in the opposite direction. And when anti-capitalism is the only motivator, you haven’t argued yourself into a position based on reason, and therefore, your chosen position is unassailable by reason.
america bad. america hate stalin. stalin good.
Imagine smokin weed in the streets without cops harassin. Imagine going to court with no trial.
If I ruled the world
No, they get it. If you were around for “hitler did nothing wrong,” you’d recognize that they’re just trying to be assholes.
