Worth knowing that the defederation was because Tankies called for more Charlie Hebdo attacks on France, and later double-downed
I don't understand why extremists always try this tactic. No one believes it. Not even them. Someone should really research this. I think it's because they want to appear normie since they have to now appear better.
I also personally disavow any violence towards anyone. No one wins with violence.
This reads like satire. "BuT I BeT yoU CAn'T eVEn deFInE tAnKIe"
I bet you can't even spell tankie
Most sane Lemmy user:
FRANCE IS EVIL!
They sure seem obsessed with it needing to be a black oppressor. Maybe I'm insane but it always gives me the distinct stench of racism. Like they think it would be somehow worse for their enemies to lose to "the blacks".
Considering they praise China, an extraordinarily racist country, it doesn't surprise me
Do they realise china arrest people for holding a white paper and russia throw people off the window for disagreeing with putin?
They can't imagine anything for themselves but the privilege of being the survivor watching their enemies plummet from windows, never imagining that they are being used and will be the second one thrown out.
The biggest gripe I have with them is that they don't seem to understand that their favourite authoritarian regime would kill them for using those pronouns. Like actually execute them.
Both Russia and China are known to hate and kill LGBTQ+ people.
They know. They just ignore it
I don't think they believe in those right anyway, "leftist" is what they call themselves but they are nowhere "left" in the spectrum. At best they align to the left in ideology but practically they're mostly right-leaning. Lefties won't just criticise the bad thing and then stop short on authoritarian country. It's easier to hijack the conversation by claiming something they're not.
No they stick there heads in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist.
Its not fact based. It is literally them ignoring reality. That's why they get mad when you troll them with silly things like facts.
Yeah, of course. They love it
"Violence is when you use a metaphor about keeping well creatures out of the town"
Tankies are so goddamn fragile. It's also why they have meltdowns when you call them out for being privileged pieces of shit that don't care how much minority blood they have to bathe in to get to LARP as revolutionaries for a few moments.
'dragon age just came out!'
yeees, yes gooood tankie, consume, keep being a good little capitalist. Do free advertising for EA-Bioware. You're totally overthrowing the system, you leet gamer
There are freer ways of playing that game, comrade.
That's great!
but they're still doing free advertising
Yeah there was even a crack announcement posted on Lemmy a couple days ago.
For those interested...
feel free to link the lemmy thread
nope. you can post piracy stuff so long as it's lemmy threads. can't link to the pirate link itself, just lemmy threads discussing it
They went into a slapping contest against an imaginary version of France and fucking lost. I am flabbergasted.
Amazing.

Funnily enough that's a trend. every fight they get into they end up losing or scurrying back to their safespaces and echochambers.
Yet they think they're the ones dunking on others. LMAO
Projection runs deep
Special shout out to this message, always nice to see people wanting to see your country burn
Oh yeah! Forgot to include that! Good catch.
they can't keep the mask on at all.
Before it was the evil US and the blue conservatives.
Now it is France and the evil baguettes
They're too crunchy!!! Raghhhhh
They will burn for this
Hon hon hon! 
Aren't EU regulations stating that flags must be made with fireproof material?
I remember they tried to burn an EU flag once and they failed to light it.
I like how they all suddenly hate the entire country of France.
Right? And because they speak French (though they could be Canadian, right…? Or any of the French colonies?), suddenly everything that’s happened to France/in France they must be on board with?
These dimwits act like this and then turn around and say America is oppressive and is hurting "their" people.
Tit for tat, let me know when one side stops being complete cunts so I can begin to care again.
"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
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 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.
