There's some great stuff throughout this thread, really. I want to post so much, but I'll just post this one:
seems like they forgot they didn't even last 24 hours being federated lmao
Presumably, it's okay if you embrace Communist aesthetics so long as you chant 'critical support for genocide!'
All or nothing, I can understand it.
Oh, I love it!
you know for people who call themselves communist, they have never actually done anything for communism. i mean, shit, why not book a vacation to Vietnam or Cuba? I know that most hexbear users are actually rich kids with rich parents, so why not give them some of your western dollar? they're poor and they need it, you know, for communism!
From what I understand, they're saying that the person they are talking about was just a communist because of the aesthetics and weren't a "real" communist. So they wouldn't consider themselves a hypocrite because they actually are a "real" communist.
the irony is sweet and delicious

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.
