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.

They don't. Krokodil is a hell of a drug
their what?
See the Tankie mindset in action:
- Imperialism is bad.
- US is bad.
- US hates Russia.
- Russia is good.
- Imperialism is good.
Most of us don't even hate Russia, just the authoritarian criminalistic regimes, and communism I guess, but I'm sure we would get over that like we did with China. Also a solid percentage of American Right wingers suddenly love Russia, for all of the wrong reasons.
Hate is just such a strong word when it comes to geopolitics, because one day your enemy could wind up your friend.
Although not that Tankies/Nazis are known for their thinking abilities.
I hate Russia. It's always been crappy and always been a stain on Europe, and a brutal empire. It was that way under the Tsars, it was that way under the Bolshevists, and it is that way now as a fascist hellhole
Yeah, the Russian peolples can be fine but the socio-political entity that is Russia, well lets just say it requires a good old fashion balkanization.
Yes, absolutely. Russia must die so that Russians can prosper
While we're on the subjects of countries dying so its peoples can prosper can we add the UK and to a greater extent England to the list.
The UK isn't a dictatorship with subject peoples any more, so, no
Counterpoint, elements of the old aristocracy still hold way too much power and the entire damned thing needs to be reorganized at the very least.
why's that?
Too much aristrocratic power, plus I feel like the UK could very easily fall to dictatorship in its current form. Dissolving the UK just seems like the easiest way to reduce potential damage.
How? And where are you from?
Mostly focusing on the house of lords and the monarchy as a whole. As for where im from, the sweaty asshole of southern California aka San Bernardino.
you're not even from the uk, I don't think you're in a spot to be criticising
My attitude to Russia and China are the same: nice place, shame about the government
For that matter there are lots of other countries that would fit that description even though the bad things their governments do are bad in different ways and to different degrees.
For sure
As an American on the fediverse my only complaint is that I can’t drone strike a whole instance. SMH my head.
I just take this as an opportunity to down vote all of their posts.
You don't drone strike an instance, you use a bomber. Drone striking is the block function.
I’m finna use the B52 because it’s got a service life longer than any human will ever live.
The drone strike is always the internet equivalent of replying “K”
"NATO offensive" ahahaha its so delusional
Not a single person representing nato is participating in ukraine
Theres a few individuals from some countries. They represent themselves and ukraine.
If only😔
Bro let me bomb serbia bro please just one more time
