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.
It's funny how tankie circlejerks and trollfarm employees always accuse people who actually combat fascists irl of being fascists themselves.
They are acting like a karen/person with a sense of entitlement in DMs, demanding to be unbanned. Baselessly call people nazis here or call them nazis just because they don't like tankies and you get banned. It goes the other way too, I wont shy away from banning nazis or people who try to justify genocides. If you find tankies or nazis commenting their crap, feel free to report them and I will take a look at it.
"They only interfered in favor of Trump. That doesn't make him an Asset."
Me: If Russia didn't consider Trump useful if he won then why would Russia bother interfering in favor of? Wouldn't it have made more sense to do what China did which was sit it out?
Logical fallacies galore as usual, from misleadingly equating authoritarian communism with communism in general to implying you must be a Nazi to oppose it.
Two of The Idiot's campaign managers are now registered foreign agents.
Idiot Junior tweeted his own e-mails negotiating kompromat for sanctions relief.
He immediately fired the FBI director for investigating his ties to Russia. The next day, Russian officials secretly met him in the oval office, and the only reason we know about it is Russian photographers posting photos of them laughing it up.
