What is a Tankie?


Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of bias)


Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules.

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 or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.

Revisionism -- Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.

Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

It's mindfulness and will have healing effects from that alone. Just sitting in a quiet dark room by yourself without moving for 45 minutes is therapeutic.

I'm making a play on the "can confirm" reply format by mixing it with the dichotomy question "confirm/deny"

I'm saying that what you described isn't therapeutic, and I know that because I do exactly that when I have migraines.

I’m saying that it’s not medically therapeutic but can be psychologically therapeutic.
