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. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate 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.
What's a Tankie? What's a hexbear? Man, I am out of it
Check the sidebar for definitions of what a Tankie is!
But Hexbear is another instance, like lemmy.ml!
I hope that you will leave this comment on account of the fact that I am presently, and will continue, engaging respectfully in good faith and respecting the rules of this sub.
I understand that you hate hexbear but be honest here, what do you mean to accomplish with fabrications like this? You surely knew when you posted this that it was a joke right? That this doesn't say anything like what you're suggesting it does? I really don't see how you could miss that fact.
In this post we see poster #1 scoring far left/lib on the test (the farthest possible position from fascist), then poster two with more than half as many upvotes in 1/5th the time (22 and 18 at present) says that political compasses are bullshit, as well as the countries in the sample on the left placed apparently based on vibes alone? Don't take my word for it, there's the entire rest of the 172 replies in that thread saying the same things I am and scoring as bottom left as possible. So I'm asking you @[email protected] what are you seeing here that is objectionable?
Read the bodymessage dude
"The red dot is where they fit politically" Yes, far lib/left
"The yellow dots are where they fit for different countries" The way this is worded makes it sound like her answers have something to do with it, but if you've taken that political compass test you'll see that no matter what you answer the left graph stays the same, because it's supposed to be a "sample" to compare yourself to other countries. What am I missing?

No matter what results you get, that chart stays the same.
The point is that Tankies pretend to be American Far left, but they are the polar opposite when it comes to supporting their favourite nations.
