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.
this despite the fact that ussr was literally the most anti-semitic country.....ever
Are you fucking kidding me with this account name? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodolfo_Graziani
Rodolfo Graziani, 1st Marquis of Neghelli […] also known as the Butcher of Ethiopia or the Butcher of Fezzan, was an Italian military officer in the Kingdom of Italy's Royal Army, primarily noted for his campaigns in Africa before and during World War II. A dedicated and prominent member of the National Fascist Party, he was a key figure in the Italian military during the regime of Benito Mussolini.
So they claim USSR has credit for Ukrainians being decent human beings? Oh fuck right off. The fact that we could relate to centuries of oppression and butchery of another group of people is at no point an accomplishment of the Soviets. We've simply been through a similar grinder before.

I mean... I can think of at least two countries which beat them out.
And the screenshot doesn't say what you claim it does, unless I'm missing something.
What's with your misleading titles post to post? Where in that specific post do they cite russian media? sci-hub is a library for pirated scientific papers and such, hosted in Russia because Russia largely doesn't care about copyright complaints from abroad. Further, I see no outright denying of anti-Semitism in the post. They're trying to whitewash the Soviet government and possibly minimize its anti-Semitism by pointing specifically to Transnistria, but that's quite different from your title.
Of all the tribal horrors facing the world, the suffering caused by antisemitism is a single drop in an ocean, and frankly a comparitively tiny concern. The constant global media drumbeat of it being a serious problem is powered by a massive hasbara budget. But how many actual physical injuries and casualties does antisemitism cause lately? Even while israel claims to represent all jewish people and is perpetrating massive war crimes, there very very little antisemitic violence. Id say theres much more risk of injury in opposing zio war crimes than there is from antisemitism.
