What is a Tankie?
(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.
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. Bans typically last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
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
That's extremism for ya
...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.
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.
"tell me comrade, what good is communism if no one will commune with you."
Wow, they're even proud incels like the fascists they hate. It's crazy they have so much in common.
hatecels!!!
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
lol this is definitely a sore topic for him
he's ranted about his lack of relationships before
I thought tankies were anti-union, because "you don't need a union when you got the party" or something.
