Man I've ran into some super Russia apologists on here. I don't get it, especially now that Putin refuses all cease fire agreements it's pretty clear who the aggressor is. To me it's been clear from the start, but lately the evidence has been piling up fast.

[-] Green_Mouse@piefed.social 18 points 2 months ago

To be honest, it has been clear who the aggressor is since 2014...

[-] caboose2006@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Maybe all the way back to Katherine the Great.

[-] Denjin@lemmings.world 15 points 2 months ago

There's a not insignificant number of people here who are so obsessed with how they are free from US/EU propaganda that they've gone full circle and lap up literal Russian state media as a reliable source.

[-] caboose2006@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

I get it, America bad. But because America bad doesn't mean Russia good. They can both be bad.

Not to tankies. It is a zero sum game to them.

Reality is a team sport, to some people. Of course they describe their outgroup 'blindly parroting western media' the same way they blindly parrot anything contrary to western media. That's all they think there is. You pick a side and defend it.

Feral Historian framed it as scientists versus lawyers. These people aren't weighing the evidence... they're building a case. 'It's a good way to send someone to prison, but it's terrible for arriving at truth.'

They operate under the belief that Ukraine is under the rule of a Nazi regime, so to them Putin might be the aggressor, but it's for the greater good

[-] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

I'm curious what "evidence" they have to support that belief.

[-] Green_Mouse@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

Russian propaganda and inability to do research on their own - that's their evidence. Though, it is also possible that they know the truth, but simply hide their true face by spreading this narrative about Nazi Ukraine.

Yikes! Had to cancel my donations to lemmy development after all.

That's good! Please consider redirecting that funding to PieFed which has no moral issues (No Tankie devs) or your instance instead

PieFed Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PieFed

The Threadiverse itself is worth supporting and can be done without a penny going to Tankies

[-] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

Don't worry, I already do.

Welcome to MoG!

Meanwhile On Grad

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. โ€” Basically, don't be a dick.

Hate-Speech โ€” You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia โ€” (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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 unrelated arguments.

Brigading โ€” If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from 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 permanently banned.

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.
