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 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.

If its about a actual genocide maybe, but its about the made up stuff from gaza, where people scream genocide despite there very objectively being none, there is a war, it definitely cost civilian lifes but that doesn't mean its a genocide. A genocide is what hamas did on 7th October, what Russia did in several separate locations in Ukraine, what China is doing to the Muslims or what Turkey is doing in the east (Armenia and Syria and Kurdish people)
A genocide isn't waging war, a genocide is actively hunting civilians and making life impossible. Israel does not do that, they do the opposite.
Btw the death numbers from the Gaza ministry of health (a hamas lead institution) include the civilians killed by hamas and their actions (i don't count the entire war as their action, there are some sources that do, but thats not right either) about 20% of the rockets hamas launched into Israel failed and hit gaza, killing hundreds of civilians. Hamas dug very elaborate tunnels (military facilities) under living areas, thats not just a war crime but significantly contributes to destruction (hit one thing, cause a chain reaction due to collapsing tunnels)
This is very objectively not a genocide.
Yeah, that's what Israel is doing
I don't know what else you get from Israel's actions and stated concerns. In a year, they've killed a greater percentage of Gazans than Coalition forces killed Iraqis in all ~10 years of the Iraq War. And Coalition forces in Iraq were (rightfully) accused of being metaphorically trigger-happy.
UN isn't a credible source for anything Israel related. (and especially not the ministry of truth) And also, its a very different kind of war and furthermore this are the numbers from the Gaza ministry of health, wich is a hamas institution and wich does the thing mentioned above.
I don't doubt that there are many casualtys, many civilian casualtys as well, but that doesn't mean its a genocide.
Did you really just "fake news" the UN? LOL!
So you think a Diplomatic forum is the fucking ministry of truth. Its a political platform, its the exact opposite of truthful.
