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.
That sounds an awful lot like someone depressed
And like someone we maybe shouldn't be mocking
So uh, real talk: dude genuinely needs to talk to a therapist, at the absolute least.
Alt-right 🤝 Tankies
🤝 = "My problem isn't undiagnosed clinical depression and/or anxiety, it's a lack of discipline in service to The Cause"
Would feel sorry for them, except they want to kill people.
This is the first instance I've seen of a tankie being self aware. Instead of ragging on him, how about we politely show him that you can live a fulfilling life in capitalist society?
It's wishful thinking, but as you can see, they only want their comrades to reaffirm their beliefs and efforts (or lack therefore).
The extreme irony of not putting the slightest effort into anything at all, but daydreaming about going to war to force everyone else to work only under the terms you set
