Holodomor was part of my studies In 2011. Blaming that situation on anyone but the soviets requires either some very uneducated opinions or serious mental gymnastics. Hexbear probably provides both.

The most favorable number to those who claim it wasn't a genocide is a death toll of 3.5 million by starvation.

To put that in context. The great Irish famine claimed about 1 million lives.

Ukrainians resisted soviet policies. Soviet responded by engineering a mass starvation as retaliation. Guess people can't resist you if they're too busy starving to death.

Man, these tankies are fun. They have been sniffing their own farts so much, it really isn't subtle with them anymore.

Every instance should defederate from Hexbear. It's the QAnon of the left.

Wait, why is Xi as Winnie the Pooh racist?

[-] goat@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

It's not. They believe it's racist because pooh is yellow.

In truth is the meme of portraying Chinese officials as cartoon characters comes from Chinese citizens. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense for Chinese citizens to be racist of themselves...

I'm old. What are 'Tankies'?

[-] antifascist@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

it's actually a very old term that was recently revived. Khruschev intervened against CIA-backed fascist "revolutionaries" in Hungary in 1956. This caused a split in the Communist Party of Great Britain. those who supported the USSR's antifascist action in hungary were called "tankies". I'm not joking by the way. Liberals using the term "tankie" today to describe the so called "authoritarian" (antifascist, revolutionary, anti-imperialist) left are totally divorced from the origins of the term. It's just something they picked up. They have no insight into the historical origin of term in CPGB infighting.

You exemplify tankie behaviour perfectly with your deliberate blatant lies and attempt at gaslighting.

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 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.

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 — 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.
