All while posting in a community that uses China, a historically and modern-day imperialist country as its icon. Irony is dead.

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(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.

There's no such thing as an educated tankie. They are, like the fascists they detest, a collection of the stupid and easily mislead.
I wouldn't say uneducated, rather they simply have no real world experience. Fascists and tankies inevitably include a lot of young, angry, neckbeard incels who have a lot of misplaced anger from within their own personal lives. None of them have ever seen anything like the types of polices they call for IRL, so it's easy for them to talk real big. In reality if they ever saw the types of policies they call for acted out in front of them or at the slightest chance of those polices happening to them, they'd very quickly fold and recant everything.
They like to imagine in their heads that they'd be one of the ones on top. In such a society, even the people with authority are under a lot of control and they're expected to be draconian.
They ARE fascists.
No, they are tankies. They are both dumb but at least tankies have a theoretically positive goal.
Every extremist, from religious nutters to neo-nazis to tankies, all believe they have a positive goal. As for your fascist comments, they have proven themselves to be fascist when it comes to particular countries, see here
Genocide is a positive goal? You mate are deluded.
