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 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.
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.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
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 only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
And why were they in Kursk, all the way on the other side of the continent from them?
And yes, basically the same question should be asked of pictures for "US Army soldier consoled after loosing unit in Iraq". If you're incapable of asking the question in both cases, then you've wondered into an intellectual pit.
Tankies' new ally:
Comrade Trump
Tankies already support Trump
Right, how do they reconcile Trump being a friend of Putin's Russia with their adoration of Putin's russia ?
they were already supporting trump under the disguise of accelerationism
Reminds me of that scene from Gladiator where The Joker gives Dumbledore a hug that lasts a lifetime.
Kim, whispering in the soldier's ear: "If you tell anyone about my boner poking your thigh, I'll have your entire family erased. Not even just killed, erased. If will be as if they never existed. I'm literally God. I can do that. Do not test me."
Brevity is the soul of wit.
Funny, yet not ok.
That guy has several faces in his camo. Or I'm losing it. Both equally likely.
kinda looks like angry joe
Walter White
We're knights of the round table
It's not a monarchy it's democratic bro it's just that the same family is so popular that they keep winning all the elections bro it can't be a monarchy bro they painted it red and called themselves a democratic people's republic
they are pretty much as delusional as conservatives.
90% of the time when your see the dumbest possible take, it's someone from hexbear.
Yeah, fascists be this way.
They are conservatives. They want to conserve the USSR.
The irony there being that Putin doesn't want the USSR. He wants to go back to the Russian Empire. He's kind of open about that.
Given that conservatism is pretty much "what if we somehow conserved the power dynamics of the feudal era into democracy?", Stalinism is just conservatism, but with communism.
