Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
(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.
This is pretty nuts. I feel sorry for the guy, he just wanted to debate politics and instead had to defend why shooting the children was a monstrous act whether you could rationalise it or not... You've still shot kids.
Only found out about Hexbear the other day and it seems like an odd place. I consider myself left wing politically but these guys sound like they just want to be authoritarian. Weird
Yeah, i like the idea behind hexbear. A place for left leaning people to gather. But the reality is its just another place for toxic people to have an echo chamber
From what I’ve seen, I gather that they are authoritarians who have seen that some historical and present day authoritarian dictators have used socialist rhetoric and trappings, and so they do the same. But they don’t care about the socialism part one whit, all they care about is the authoritarianism.
That and contrarianism and anti-west sentiment. “The west is bad because it is bad, and anything that hurts the west is good (even if the thing hurting the west is the most evil fucking thing you can imagine)”.
I’m pretty far left too… but I’m very much anti-authoritarian left. I still believe in democracy, and dethroning kings of whatever sort, call it a president or call it a ceo. I rather despise those guys at hexbear.
"That's not how monarchies work, you have to end the line then and there"
Nah they're totally right, there's never been a monarchy that's ended without killing the entire family. Except for all the ones that have.
Killing someone because they may or may not do something in the future. Who does this remind me of?
Wowie. That's one of the most violent things I've seen from them, good find.
I say this unironically, they need Jesus. They need something or someone to give them good morals, because whatever morals they have just aren't working.
I can't think of anything worse than these shitty little zealots finding religion.
You've heard of CHRISTOFASCISTS... now prepare for... CHRISTOTANKIES!
Taking extremists and adding religious zeal tends to end poorly.
The terminally online don't need Jesus, they need grass to touch.
No Jesus needed. Just install the emotional damage patch. It comes pre-loaded on a stick that is shoved... Well, you think of the install procedure yourself
I don't get it, can someone explain ?
