The sooner we can cut ties with the Tankies, the better.

[-] benignintervention@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

It seems like they've got louder recently

[-] breecher@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

They are being emboldened by the succes of their fascist friends on the worldstage.

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

But then who might be a good influence on them?

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 0 points 2 weeks ago

You could just ignore them

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

Ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away. It continues to cause harm while left unopposed.

It's not a "phobia", if I'm pissed at you for what you do, not where you're from. I'm not even mad at Russians, I'm mad at Putin.

I have a russian friend, he's a furry, great guy, his fursona's a bee. I honestly hope he gets to leave Russia because the police can and would have him killed for being bisexual.

AHH! I HAVE AN IRRATIONAL FEAR OF AN ARMY THAT RAPED AND BRUTALISED A EUROPEAN COUNTRY!

I'd put them in a similar category as scalies, where they're technically not furry, but close enough that the distinction hardly matters. In the end they're all personas based on anthropomorphic animals. Insect-sonas are decently common, I've seen lots of bee and moth sonas.

Ahh yes, russophobia, just like antisemitism when talk about the shit done by the government.

[-] goat@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 weeks ago

also lol at the lack of standards allowing rt news

[-] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

They're explicitly against free speech over on .ml. And that's for a reason. The auth-left and the auth-right are uncomfortably alike.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 4 points 2 weeks ago

We should mark that day by being even more russophobic

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. — 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.
