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. β Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech β You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia β (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 β 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 β 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.
I dunno why he hasn't returned to Russia. His family moved to Canada to flee Russia, and he's extremely rich, yet refuses to go back?
Never made sense to me moving to a country that lifts you out of poverty, and then you live in said country while saying how bad it is and how good your old poverty was.
Yog is rich? Not very ML of them
Incredibly rich. he's in the one percent for canada.
Oh. He has a published book on Amazon.
so do thousands of robots
but yeah, i get your point
That means nothing. It costs like $199 to self publish a book, and nothing if you so ebook-only
I know. But amazon big bad!
Lol what's the book
Edit did a Google is this some clojure dev who spends all this time spamming shit on an obscure forum??
He notoriously cries wolf after people hackle him over defending russia irl.
Keyboard warrior.
He's rich? Then why can't the fuck he fund ML then, so not a single cent donated to lemmy would be used to fund propaganda instance. Shouldn't be a problem for him, he's a communist after all.
The rich aren't generous. And tankies aren't communist.
"I'm the most hetero, man, I can't stand what all those queers have done to this country" "Why do you get a little overly into wrestling when we watch and you have all these bodybuilder posters" "Shut up"
"I'm the smartest man alive man I'll tear anybody apart in a debate" "Why when Tricia started disagreeing with you did you absolutely flip your shit and hit the table and leave the party" "Shut up"
"My home country is the BEST, it is the best place to live and most goodest government on the planet or ever" "Why did your family leave then" "Shut up"
Why are you assuming money was stolen in Canada?
