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. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate 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.

The same thing can be said about Japan. A lot more people died by the hands of the Japanese Empire during WW2 than those two nukes did.
Still, dropped it on two civilian targets.
Imagine Russia taking out LA and NYC; you guys would never let anyone forget that no matter what
Rape of Nanjing, bro. Rape of Nanjing.
Agreed, not a good thing. Abu Ghraib ring any bells?
See? We can do this all day long but in the end the fact is that these "tactical nukes" weren't used to take out parts of the command structure, but to vaporise not one but two major civilian population centres.
That's not even fucking close.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both chosen for their military and industrial importance.
I could probably say the same for San Fransisco if it was chosen.
You absolutely could. San Fran was a major logistics hub during the Second World War.
And we'd never hear the end of it, yet it's no big deal when done abroad.
Are you saying that the West thinks Hiroshima and Nagasaki are no big deal?
I see you aren't interested in any serious discussion considering that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are a major event in the American cultural consciousness and still evoke strong reactions even today.
Tankie brain doesn't comprehend such stuff
