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.
Yes, because Stalin never did anything bad to his own people.
How can someone possibly be that ignorant?
Yes, because Stalin never did anything bad to his own people.
Ah, but you see -- Stalin only ever did bad things to Nazis. So if Stalin did bad things to you, you must have been a Nazi. Airtight logic.
That is genuinely how these chuds think, isn't it?
You saved the motherland Dmitry but you're a crippled unemployed Fuck, get on barge. --Stalin
/u/K1nsey6@lemmy.ml deleted your comments when they got ratioed. Absolute loser behavior.
Definitely a snowflake of a mod. And they're still being downvoted.
This is very common on .ml
Dude made a new account on world...ugg the tankies are migrating since so many of us block .ml
While I disagree with the wording because tankies arent communists even though like to call themselves that (show me where they ever moved closer to a stateless classless society and not further away from it). That's why it is better to say "tankie" or simply "ML" because MLs suck regardless if they support violently suppressing protestors and ethnic minorities or not.
What the fuck, the original comments by OP were removed by a moderator?
It said I almost had a new record of breaking rules apparently.
reminder that latestagecapitalism and progressivepolitics on .world are bad
He didn't defeat the Nazis because he disagreed with Nazi ideology, he just wanted to be the bigger dictator and saw an opportunity to steal a bunch of land. And post war that's exactly what he did.
The LSC cruds have always been nutty, whether its reddit or here, its just not immediately obvious.
you're not gonna change anyone's minds by shouting at them.
tankies are often delusional but shouting never helps. try to focus on the economic situation, something that can be meaningfully grasped.
I am not able to change their minds in anyway. I just want to put a spotlight on it for others to see what they are saying.
I don't have the patience or know-how to make any change. I am just really fuckin tired and angry with how stupid people can be. The internet just turned me into a snappy asshole.
they were right
