"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?
(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.
they went from TANKIE OR CONSERVATIVE to TANKIE OR ALT-RIGHT with this
post could use link to source or alt text, though: images of text aren't web accessible
I could link the source, but often get accusations of brigading if I do so
yeah, not saying you're the revolutionary to do this, but that brigading concept from reddit moderation tradition needs to die: the web was made for linking, and web accessibility takes priority over territoriality & petty territorial disputes. if the link were between completely different websites or social media platforms, everyone would just accept it as the web working as designed.
anyway, tankies becoming indistinguishable from alt-right conspiracy freaks is next level unhinged!
It's horseshoe theory. I find that there aren't actually many differences between neo-nazis and tankies.
Antisemitism is where I draw the line
It is unbelievably messed up to blame the Jewish population for something that they don't have control over. We don't need to see another Holocaust
They do have control over it. I've already donated to Jewish groups that openly condemn Israel's war crimes and genocides.
The Jews that support it are collaborators and deserve to be shamed.
What support are we talking about here?
Go away then from lemmy. You jews are not special. People hate christians and muslims too. At least we know that the most evil things are done by the people who love calling discrimination of jews
This whole post is fuking playing antisemitism card again. They came to lemmy too now. Gtfo
what?
I dont hate jews I hate most people from Israel. I also hate the world antisemitism is on par as racism. The fuk is world can hate muslims but not jews?
Antisemitism is racism.
Wrong. You cant choose race but believing in some entity that created the world is a choice. Also shutting mouthes of those who speak against their wrong doings by calling us antisemites is unfair
Judaism is both a religion AND an ethnic group. There are people all over the world who are of Jewish descent but don't observe the religious side and don't support zionism. Antisemitism always bags those people together in their accusations, and it is easily picked as a justification to hate a given target while ignoring whatever they actually believe in.
But you are antisemitic.
Not all jews are bad but almost all bad people causing most bad things in the world are jews
I sometimes wonder what it's like to live with such a lack of self-awareness.
"We're not antisemitic!"
literally a sentence later
"Oh by the way, curse on the jews."
Makes you wonder what is the percentage of israel nation are supremacists.
Probably supporters of benny
I do find it a bad thought decision that my brain wants to blame jews. The only truth is the whole west world is afraid to say a word against israel makes you wonder that most powerful are jews.
It sounds to me more that they think antisemitism is morally correct based on their aforementioned conspiracies.
Because apparently blaming the people committing the crimes isn't enough. You need to perpetuate hate against an entire ethnic/religious group, otherwise your opinion is invalid as "Liberal tears."
Anyone who looks at everything that is listed in the Epstein files and concludes, "this is why Judaism is bad," needs to pull their head out of their racist ass.
If you think Jews are actually evil, than antisemitism seems reasonable.
You specifically are part of the reason why this happens. Your continuous anti-gaza propaganda that you have been feeding on lemmy isn't helping the cause
What do you mean?
Look at his comment history
Got any highlights?
Bombing Iran isn't helping Israel's image
Attack Israel not jews
Collateral damage. Jews should overthrow their gov
Hey stop being antisemitic or I'll boot ya
Okay at least stop calling other races dogs and themselves a chosen ones. And shame those who does that.
Every Abrahamic religion believes they're the chosen ones
There's the Jewish ethnicity and then the religion.
I mean, Iran and Israel have been in a shadow war for decades, and it was found that Iran was helping Hamas so they could carry out the 7th of October massacres.
The US, though, shouldn't get involved at all.
Lol 7th of october massacres? The one which is probably planned to start genocide?
It wasn't planned by Israel, but Israel did know of an upcoming attack. Granted Hamas is always planning an upcoming attack.
Even without "Sarkha" this would be a textbook antisemitic conspiracy.
At least they are dropping the """anti-zionism""" mask now.
yeah at least the tankies don't really hide it
it's the other slippery jill stein voters that bury that stuff deep
