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, 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.
Let's hear it from the db0 admins what they think about the Uyghur genocide!
yikes
It's quite humorous to see Unruffled delete an anti-tankie comment, then db0 restore it and go "yeah I don't know what's going on man"
If db0 has any sort of integrity as I did when it came to PJ, db0 will remove ruffled.
But hey, tankies of a feather flock together
Lesser evil when Kamala Harris: NO WAY JO SE, I will never cosign a genocide
Lesser evil when China: Well see the thing you have to remember is
Seems like you're late to the party:
From @unruffled@anarchist.nexus
To be clear, if I haven’t been already, I 100% condemn China’s actions towards the Uyghurs. Is it technically a genocide? Depends what definition you’re working with, but to my mind it meets the definition.
Sure, that's fine, and I agree with him on that. I am pointing out the way that "lesser evil" arguments seem to be embraced and warmed and welcomed when some entities are the target, and met with WHAT THE FUCK ANYTHING EVIL IS EVIL I WILL NEVER when some other entities are the target. Just the whole "lesser evil" type of argument coming from unruffled just automatically seemed hilarious to me.
