This is really sad. They’re self selecting into isolation. That’s an incredibly dangerous thing to do. It leaves you vulnerable and miserable and trapped within whatever ideology or neurosis caused you to choose to separate. I hope they manage to break out.

Edit: you’re really not disagreeing by acting in a mentally unhealthy manner

...and fundamentalism

whenever the fantasy world you've constructed comes in contact with the real world it breaks and causes conflict

you lash out in protest from time to time and get no-where because you're not changing the actual system in which you live

at least these folks can larp together and depress their comrades in their online bubbles

Castro was a tyrant. Like, you could agree some of his social policies were good and he did reduce some of the inequality between rich and poor, but he was mostly an authoritarian piece of shit despite that.

hes responsible for the wealthy landowners that fled to florida, that become sole cuban conservatives for the gop. I dont think these tankies actually read up on the history of these leaders.

[-] goat@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

of course they don't. if they did, they wouldn't be praising mao, NK or Stalin so much

Unionize is important, but the employer is the last one to tell. I don't understand why show off in front of him, without a section to back you. Stop being martyr, you will convince no one to suffer like you do.

Because tankies aren't there to help anyone. Telling them what they're going to do is just to feed into their power fantasies. These people would be the ones sending people to camps, not helping shit, because they know better and want to be the leaders.

AKA these people are just the poor versions of dictators and CEOs.

One more thing they have in common with the MAGA people.

Fun fact: if Antiyanks floods a thread with spam as he did here, just block his account. All of those comments will vanish, completely wasting the time he spent making thousands of comments. What a loser! Lmao

I thought tankies were anti-union, because "you don't need a union when you got the party" or something.

Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!


What is a Tankie?


Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of biased source)


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 it be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism 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, as it handwaves their extremism.

Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.

Brigading/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.

Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.

In most cases, you'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Depending on the content, the ban time may vary.
