"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
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.

This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly
Edit: I'm convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

The tankie try-not-to-be-a-raging-class-reductionist-queerphobe challenge: impossible.
I always got the sense when talking to class reductionist tankies that they were simply thinly veiling their bigotry and the "no war but class war" was just a way they could try to appeal to others while redirecting away from their own abhorrent beliefs. Just another example that tankies aren't really that different from MAGAts.
They want to bring together the working class of the left and the right but only on the social terms of the right since they know they can't challenge their bigotry and still win their votes. So instead they want us to shut up about our struggle for rights and only mention what they deem the "correct" struggle.

Tankies all take delight in watching some children's corporate media, with content warnings for each episode of My Little Pony.
(sh.itjust.works)
Not that there's anything wrong with content warnings. But you'd think people who actively celebrate massacres and call for the death of others can handle a children's cartoon lol

It was not "debunked" btw. Children were murdered during the massacres, including babies.
Of course, Tankies know this, but consider it a good thing, evidently.
If you attempt to contend anything, be sure to provide evidence and reputable sources that can support you. Don't claim anything if you can't back it up. Use this site to help determine what's reputable, aim for High to Very High and least biased.

Tankies can't help but celebrate and memeify massacres that involved the mass execution of civilians and prisoners of war
