I'd honestly feel better to hear someone calling us dog eating chingchong than this tankie shit. At least they're open about being racist and there's some truth to it.

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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting or manipulating the post in any way, this includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be permanently banned.
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.

Tankies believe South Korea is a US puppet and that south korea abandoned asian culture
Not only that, I've seen a few different times them claiming that "occupied Korea" is a warning about what might happen to countries that trust the Western system and align with it too much. Meanwhile, life for people in North Korea isn't all that bad, that's just propaganda.
This is why it's hard to get a foothold talking with a lot of with them. They literally have effectively no connection to reality. You just can't make an internet argument with someone who has no obligation to anything real.
all extremists function like that unfortunately, you just can't use facts against them since they don't believe in them.
tho in the case of tankies, I'm not entirely sure if they actually believe in the NK conspiracy nonsense, but instead it's more of a sunk-cost fallacy for them.
Yeah. The whole model is not a factual conversation. The whole model is a "fight." If you say something factual that makes sense, that's a huge problem, and they have to double down on fighting back twice as hard. To say "Oh that's actually a really good point and the evidence backs it up, let me adjust my world view accordingly" would be a cowardly failure.
so how does one even manage to have an honest conversation or dialogue with them?
Do you mind if I change the topic? I want to ask you about the dbzer0 vs MoG drama.
you can dm me about it if you want
Tankies also believe the sky is blue...
