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.

I’ll never understand anybody who isn’t skeptical of what America tries to say about it’s enemies anymore. I don’t know if there’s a genocide happening in China. But most of the world except the United States seems to think there isn’t. And that’s a big fucking red flag to me.
If there is one happening and people are being propagandized into denying it, I blame the United States whole heartedly for the embarrassing amount of disinformation they shit out on a daily basis about China.
And this most of the world is...?
Because the United Nations most certainly recognises the genocide, as do many other independent human-rights organisations. oh and the leaked documents.
Was gonna refer to the UN rapport as well before I saw your comment.
lol and of course now we hear crickets
I’ll never understand this US-centric, bigoted dismissal of anyone and everyone through the lens of American exceptionalism.
You are the problem you so loudly complain about.
That’s because American exceptionalism is a lie and you’re too stupid to see that.
They're not arguing for american exceptionalism, dude
Yeah I fucked up. 4am is early for me lol
Calling someone stupid while completely missing their point, lol
Well I never claimed to be intelligent lol
wew lad
Wait you blame the US for you denying the Uyghurs are being wiped, because checks notes they're telling you about it ?
Liar liar, pants on fire.
Really good propaganda has a lot of truth in it.
That’s true. Half truths mixed in with lies is the best strategy.
