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.

Prolewiki curiously runs a severe deficit of citations. The references list on any entry is tiny.
What's hilarious is that they claim Wikipedia is CIA propaganda, when their own article on gulags cites... The CIA.
Someone make it make sense, please.
I love how almost all of their sources come from fake news sites.
Comrade, are you saying that https://stalinistkatyusha.wixsite.com is not a reliable, unbiased source? To the gulag with you.
Why am I disappointed that site doesnt exist?
Someone needs to buy the domain and make it into a web 1 style shitpost. Just a background video of a katyusha firing with soviet march nlaring and a dancing stalin jpg.
These people who are allergic to grass really love an echochamber
Yakub is a few decades old at this point. Its just a black supremacist myth. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakub_(Nation_of_Islam)
It’s a good thing I ignore what stupid cults thinks. Thanks for the link though, it’s entertaining.
Okay, but what about a smart cult?
Cause getting piss drunk with a Dionesian Cult sounds like a smart (and fun) thing to do. Just hope you dont get dismembered.
Personally, I prefer stupid cults of another nature. Praise "Bob" and St. Stupid! Chaotic cults are cool too, hail Eris.
Babe babe wake up, new white people lore dropped
This isn't "new." This is Farrakhan bullshit from the Nation of Islam, iirc from the 70s. Iirc he also says he has a UFO or some shit, dude is batshit, and idk why I am seeing an increase in people spreading their segregationist rhetoric but frankly I don't like it. Playing right into the culture war.
And they have the gall to call us racist
wHiTe PeOpLe ArE nOt A rAcE!!1!
Idk who "they" are, but this seems troubling.
tankies
That fake myth might just be older than tanks, let alone tankies. The guy who pulled the story out of his ass certainly is, at any rate.
