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.

Really saying the quiet part out loud, huh? Nothing deeper to the ideology than being anti-America, even if it means the destruction and genocide of third-parties. Because America bad, and nothing is ever more important than that.
It appears that the poster is a native Hawaiian, some of which whom are anti-colonial us/pro Hawaiian independence movement. In that case, yes they do hate America. I had the pleasure of taking a class with a pro independence Hawaiian woman who was 19 years old many years ago. This was in the mainland United States and not Hawaii. She repeatedly used racist terminology to disparage and attack the white student body of the very not Hawaiian campus.
It was kind of weird, tbh. But she was a very angry person in general and not pleasant to talk to you. Not that she would actually interact or talk to white people, mind you.
Sounds like she sure acted like an American
