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.
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.
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.
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.
They're super horny for everything that exposes the hypocriticism of the western hegemony, such as the USA that supports Israel without questioning.
They, as always, pick a standpoint that is so contrairian that it must trigger any 'libs', so that they can launch their prosecution diatribes.
When most of the world is coming around and admits the unproportional manner of Israëls retaliation they just want to increase polarization.
Also aren't they themselves reactionaries this very moment by calling for Palestine to take back Israel?
Irredentist ethnonationalism is actually super left-wing if you say "America bad"
Israel: “West Bank was historically Israeli in biblical times, so let’s ethnically cleanse all the land and terrorize the people who have since taken up residence there in our absence!”
Tankies: “Apartheid! Genocide! Down with Isnotreal™, from the river to the sea!!!1!”
Hamas: “Israel was historically Arab under the Ottomans, so let’s ethnically cleanse all the land and terrorize the people who have since taken up residence there in our absence!”
Tankies: “Unbelievably based!!!”
Communism? Nothing.
Tanky-ism? Plenty. There is a long tradition of anti-Semitism by tanky leaders dating back to Stalin. Part of the collapse of Russia in the late 20th and early 21st centuries is due to Jews being able to escape, causing a non-insignificant population collapse and a brain drain, especially in STEM sectors.
Man im literally banned on 2/3 of lemmy because i called the terrorists animals that have no place in our world...
