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 mean, they're right.
In the first picture, dictators are dining with more food than most of the population of their country will ever see. Their people are living in poverty while they live in extreme wealth. How very communist of them.
In the second picture, the two politicians are eating "peasant" food
Precisely 0 out of 2 of their countries are communist
They sure like acting they are
Its communism, at the tyranny of the proles stage, as outlined by Marx.
You should go read the manifesto, or at least the sparknotes.
Calling a de facto monarchy that claims to be a democratic republic tyranny of the proles Assuming I haven't read the communist manifesto
I am amused
Do they think Blinken needs to be showing off how much food the US has or something?
Yes. Unironically, tankies are less communist than they are monarchist.
Without majesty, where legitimacy??
Wouldn't expect anything less from an incompetent tankie.
Dmitri's so fucking dumb
