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 actually grabbed this because someone doubted the existence of people who equated both sides of the war as equally responsible. Lo and behold, our favorite tankie hangout came up with ample examples just from typing in "Ukronazi" on local search. Hexbear being mask-off amongst their own is really convenient, honestly, I spent more time searching for the right kbin mag to post it in than I did grabbing it.
Ah yes, the incredibly imaginative and devastating insult I see in YT comment sections daily from 13-yo ruzzian nationalists and edgelords who are so heterosexual and secure in their masculinity they have to constantly and loudly insist that they are those things
I finally figured out why people keep using the word Ruzzian. Those are the fans of the SMO. That took me way too long
SMO?
What Russia calls the war in Ukraine; the Special military operation
Thanks!
Hexbear just defended Kim Jong Un. That instance is lost.
There are people there that maintain DPRK and Khmer Rouge era Cambodia are/were socialist nations.
They really are just the best hits of "West Bad"
This is kind of old at 2 months at the newest
The views don't change
