Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
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. — 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 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.
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.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

Dunno about starting the war but there are definitely an abnormally large number of Nazis serving in Ukraine. They have a long history of that actually, and we just honored one of them in Canada's House of Commons which was funny.
I found it hilarious that both Russian Neo-Nazis and Ukraine Neo-Nazis fought each other.
But that's not what it is, it's ~95% kids forced to fight each other to death on both sides. As always.
Conscripts butchering conscripts. Some people want to cheer that on.
I'd be curious to find a military force with zero enlisted fascists. The field attracts them. That's why there are Nazis on both sides of this conflict; because militaries are full of fascists who want an excuse to kill.
