I don't really get why my whole acc was banned for 3 comments (some other comments where banned too, but out of pribcipal I think) they just sayed my acc was apologizing genocide or something (even tho I never mentioned Israel)
They hate it when it's pointed out that they're useful idiots for fascists. Even if it's phrased politely. Any excuse to avoid confronting that.
They believe if they don’t vote that the democrats will magically transform all of their policies to communist ideology to capture and extra 0.3% of voters at the expense of losing most of their voter base.
It’s funny because the users advocating for communism would be the first useless morons to wind up in work camps.

It's because it's a deeply religious position for tankies. They aren't interested in political strategy or, despite their claims, material conditions of society. They have utter disdain for 'shitlibs' like socdems and demsocs - the disdain they have for the vast majority of the population, who is even less on their side, is far greater. They have no desire to try and change opinions on the ground. Why would they want to stoop down to the level of ~~sinners~~ reactionaries? No, all they want is for the poors to suffer and the minorities to be exterminated in the hopes that their ~~rapture~~ sorry, proletarian revolution, will trigger because of ~~the end days~~ accelerationism.
Idunno. Most tankies are actually rich people, usually college-fund kids or nepo-baby manchildren. Rarely have I ever seen them actually complain about jobs that the poor do.
that or they're neets
They really don’t like people to disagree with the hive over there, do they?
They certainly don't.
I love it though since there's always raving about 'oh i just dunked some LIBTARD the other day, i'm so cool, please be friends with me' ... But they never actually did it. Pretending to have internet arguments is one of the strangest things I've seen from tankies, next to the deviantart stalin and communist anime waifus... certainly, uh, curious? I don't post them here since it feels like picking on disabled folk--scatch that--IT IS picking on the disabled.
Oh good lord, they actually do that? The moment I think they can’t get worse….
Yeah, it's very prevalent all over their elements and discords. They meme a lot on the surface, but inside their actual circles, when they know it's just themselves, it's an immensely depressing place--A common trait in all extremist communities, really. Anger on the outside. Crying on the inside.
I actually think a lot about those guys who post their fanarts because I just can't fathom how utterly depressing that life must be for them. But it's also their passion and probably therapy for them, minus the whole praising long-dead dictators thing, perhaps it'll help them. Suppose that's why so many authoritarian states immediately strangle art since it pacifies the extreme.
They do want trump to win because they want the downfall of america.
That's probably there logic
However, it is important to note that America is not going to "fall" because of one president. That kind of thinking leads to aggressive action and is what lit the fire that was Jan 6, 2020. Civil non violent action is what is needed.

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?
(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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.
Brigading — 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.
