Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(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.
I still don't get why they like radical Muslims. I understand that they do, but I just can't grasp the reason. It makes no sense.
Tankies operate on a very simple premise... US bad
Now that you have the basis of Tankie ideology (it does not go any deeper than this), you can move on to the next part of Tankie ideology.
If something hates the US, then that something is now good.
The oligarchical Russia where women and queers are regularly degraded? Russia good.
The hypercapitalistic China which has actual child labour and mass surveilance? China good.
The Islamic Terrorists who consider Tankie's as abominations and will actually kill them? Hamas good.
These people operate on a very black-and-white level. They are quite incapable of seeing nuance or considering the complexities of politics and society. Thankfully, they are also children and will grow out of their ignorance when they get a life.
I was going to up vote until you said they will grow out of their ignorance. Pressing x to doubt but y to hope I'm wrong
There are users in this very community who thankfully grew out of it
I'll gladly be wrong on this one then, glad to know my pessimistic outlook isn't always correct
W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! IM ONE OF YOU! IM A RESISTANCE FIGHTER TOO! WHAT DO YOU MEAN ABOMINATION--BWARK!

A Palestinian scholar from the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem sends a message to the “Queers for Palestine-crowd” in the West: “The people of Palestine will not allow a single homosexual in our land," such perversion brings the wrath of Allah”
LGBT for terrorism is like chicken for KFC, 4chan predicted it.
finger lickin good
Rattlingly great news.
hopefully one more step towards a ceasefire
of course these people don't want a ceasefire, they want more war
A ceasefire wont do, a ceasefire will just give Iran and Russia more time to resupply and regather their terrorists to attack again, all that on the back of the entire local population
I'm aware that Hamas has broken every ceasefire that has ever existed -- But what else do you propose that has the least amount of casualties?
Eradication of the terrorists and simultaneously helping the locals to become self sufficient and able to defend themselves and implementing education is a long-term solution for the terrorism problem
Ah, but how do you stop an UNRWA situation? Where the education material ends up becoming more extremism?
The law requires that i awnser anything but executions of the intruders... However i tend to be above the law.
At best put people from way outside in these organizations and ban religion within them, maybe ban Muslims in general, it would be the same with a Christian terrorism problem, you wouldn't hire Christians to solve that.
But UN is a waste of anything on earth, so they will likely exclusively hire islamists from Iran when they get involved. Thats why i hope Israel forces them out for good.
I'm not a big fan of Islam either but banning it is grossly unrealistic. How do you even go about banning religions? Don't see it working.
No, not banning the religion itself, i mean within the organization.
Oooh, lol
that makes so much more sense, yeah
