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.
sorry for the wall of text (couldn't even post it all) but literally ALL of her threads look like this. they're so bad that literally nobody wants to read them.
how does this deny the holocaust? it's even talked about in the text, and definitely not denied.
this community seems to be getting more and more circlejerky, i don't think the people who upvoted actually read the screenshot.

real. I often find this.
I didn't even read this comment chain.
i didn't even read this reply
Erm... Did you read the text at all? There's zero holocaust denial in there. It's about how jewish prisoners of war were treated, with clear references to how civilian jews were much more at risk of dying in camps. I have not verified the scenarios described for p.o.w. but you don't seem to be challenging those.
So chill out, if all posts of OP look like this, then they are posting content that appears to be well researched and wirh sources, and you are the crazy one.
My favorite tankie take at the moment is Ukraine being at fault for Russia invading them. I get whiplash when I read things like that while they're also calling others imperialists.
I’m pretty sure there’s only about a dozen actual users with a bunch of alts and bots. That’s why talking to Any of them sounds identical to the next. Same words, same punctuation, same tone.
