These people think Ukraine is at fault for Russia invading them. They're so far up their own asses in tankie bullshit that they don't even see the irony in calling others fascists as they ban them.

They are both totalitarian but tankies don't have the same level of racism.

a political system and a form of government that prohibits opposition from political parties as well as outlaws the political claims of individual and group opposition to the state.

Walk me through how racism is necessary for that definition.

It is not. Where is the problem?

Thankies have rascism and prejudice against certain groups, just like neo-nazis, they tend to believe a lot of antisemitic bs for example and excuse the rascism of people like Che Guevara when he was in Angola or so many other examples, they just have good PR to hide that racism.

How? Do tankies want a racially pure society?

the the rascism of people like Che Guevara

Do you have a source? It seems to be constructed and people quote him from before the revolution.

in Angola

Did you mean Congo? I have found quotes from there but not from Angola.

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 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.
