America 200 years ago: Steal land from native peoples and then kill, sterilize and oppress them, putting their children in concentration camps where they’re forced to give up their religions, languages and cultures

Lemmy devs: THEY’RE STILL EVIL! FASCIST THIS FASCIST THAT!!! AAAAAAH I HATE MY COUNTRY SO MUCH WE ARE SO GENOCIDAL AND RACIST! HOW MANY RUSSIAN AND CHINESE DICKS SHOULD I SUCK TO ATONE FOR THIS?

China today: Steal land from native peoples and then kill, sterilize and oppress them, putting their children in concentration camps where they’re forced to give up their religions, languages and cultures

Lemmy devs: UNBELIEVABLY BASED!

oh they have a very effective method, it's called "nuhuh, china says that's not real so it's not real!"

Burgerland? Wow, this is just sad. That person probably doesn’t go outside often. Good thing that unlike the site that must not be named, this is FOSS so it’s a lot harder for them to ban the /c’s outside of ml and lemmygrad they disagree with unlike the tankie admins on that site.

The admins on Lemmygrad are also the admins on lemmy.ml -- Oh, they're also the Lemmy developers.

Gonna side with the tankies on this one, being called cracker has never offended me in any way, shape, or form. Now if OP is genuinely disregarding people's opinions for being white then yeah that's racist actually but I don't feel bad about cracker at all. I don't know any other white people who feel bad when we get called that, it's just not the same.

You can be racist without the victim be offended. Doesn't happen often, but offense isn't a requirement.

I'm not entirely offended by cracker either, but I also think it's stupid to hold people accountable for atrocities done centuries ago before electricity.

But yeah, the Admin is disregarding the opinion because they are a white migrant living in China.

I also think it’s stupid to hold people accountable for atrocities done centuries ago before electricity.

At the same time, many families got rich off of slave labour, and have passed that ill gained wealth down from generation to generation.

Just because you gave the car you stole away as a gift doesn't mean it ain't fucking stolen. It should be repossessed.

I used to watch the YouTuber in n question and they did used to be a really good view into China. However, I stopped watching after he moved to the US and started making classic "China bad" scare content. The only part of the OP that is questionable is the excessive use of cracker, which is a bit distasteful but nothing more.

I would also like to point out that "atrocities done centuries ago" does not apply to White South Africans. Apartheid was what, 40 years ago? Well within living memory.

Welcome to MoG!

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.
