Tankies believe modern liberals are responsible for colonialism. Later defend imperialism.

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 it 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.
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 arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously 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 banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

Is Sweden a US vassal?
Yes!
Every democracy is a US vassal?
Every western country is a US vassal to a greater or lesser extent. The democracies that aren't US vassals tend to get overthrown by the US - see the entire history of South America, Africa, Iran before the Shah, etc.
Notice how the Swede dogs are once again in lockstep with the US over the illegal, unprovoked, full-scale Amero-Israeli aggression against Iran? Or your government or my government for that matter. All the rich white democracies are outraged when america threatens us, but clap like seals for all their wars of aggression against nonwhites.
uh-huh, that's nice
have you ever considered that you might be wrong or overgeneralising just a smidge?
Nope, my opinions have been formed according to a preponderance of evidence, and they continue to be proven correct. The Europeans, who were so vocal about Putin's invasion of Ukraine, are all-in on their nazi pedohile overlord's illegal unprovoked full-scale aggression against Iran.
you've never been wrong with anything ever?
Of course not! I used to believe all that nonsense about good democracies vs evil dictatorships like you do.
