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.

Made the transition from Reddit to Lemmy that much smoother. Instead of the_donald there is hexbear and it's shockingly similar. Made me feel right at home.
We should focus on authoritarianism. It doesn't matter what side you are on.
The side my country was on, was the middle. A short drive away from where I live now, there are two mass graves from 1940s. On one side, lie the Jewish people who were murdered by the Nazis. On the other, lie Lithuanian intelligentsia who opposed the Soviets.
Sorry but I dont have the same image of OP as you and from my interactions with them I believe they not only would revolt with us against Trump, they would revolt with us against any injustice.
But both sides bad, so we have fascism right now. Where is the revolution?
No, you don't get it.
The only way to achieve a communist utopia is to keep giving more money and power to the current ruling classes.
