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.

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.

This reads like satire. "BuT I BeT yoU CAn'T eVEn deFInE tAnKIe"

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

I bet you can't even spell tankie

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 10 points 1 week ago

Imagine being this degenerate. Can't we just ship all Tankies, Nazis, and other terrorists onto Antarctica? They hate our societies anyway, so why have them live inside of them? They want to be out of the system? Then move them out of the system.

Most sane Lemmy user:

FRANCE IS EVIL!

[-] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 29 points 1 week ago

Do they realise china arrest people for holding a white paper and russia throw people off the window for disagreeing with putin?

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] goat@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

They know. They just ignore it

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 4 points 1 week ago

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.

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

Yeah, of course. They love it

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

"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

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

There are freer ways of playing that game, comrade.

[-] goat@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

That's great!

but they're still doing free advertising

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah there was even a crack announcement posted on Lemmy a couple days ago.

For those interested...

[-] goat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

feel free to link the lemmy thread

[-] goat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

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

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

They went into a slapping contest against an imaginary version of France and fucking lost. I am flabbergasted.

Amazing.

[-] goat@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Funnily enough that's a trend. every fight they get into they end up losing or scurrying back to their safespaces and echochambers.

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Yet they think they're the ones dunking on others. LMAO

[-] goat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Projection runs deep

[-] Camus@jlai.lu 21 points 1 week ago

Special shout out to this message, always nice to see people wanting to see your country burn

[-] goat@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

Oh yeah! Forgot to include that! Good catch.

they can't keep the mask on at all.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago

Before it was the evil US and the blue conservatives.

Now it is France and the evil baguettes

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

They're too crunchy!!! Raghhhhh

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

They will burn for this

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Hon hon hon!

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 week ago

I like how they all suddenly hate the entire country of France.

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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?

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.
