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.

When did the US invade a member of NATO, again?
Sorry, their presumed mission of ensuring peace in Europe through collective defense.
It's built and structured around Russia being the main antagonist but it's mostly been the US who's activities have been destabilizing the security of Europe.
But you're right, the explicit mission is to protect their members and noone else, so I guess everything is working as intended
lol
Tell me more about how America's aggression turned the Baltic Sea into a NATO lake.
Fascists like you just can't help yourselves when it comes to Russia, can you?
I have no problem acknowledging Russia's aggression and imperialist activities, but NATO fanboys pretend as if NATO members are the 'good guys' and cannot themselves be seen as the instigators of European conflict.
NATO ends up categorizing conflict in Europe into two sides and ignores all conflict originating on the member side. An alliance that includes all members would at least in-theory be more equitable, but we already know that even a global supergovernment can selectively enforce their mission and ignore offenses by particular members.
Hey, want to tell me what the European conflict going on right now is and who instigated it?
Maybe you could also do the last major European conflict too, just for fun?
"NATO is sabotaging European security" is such a braindead talking point that requires not just ignorance, but active denial of reality. It's unsurprising that fascist shitheads find it so very appealing to parrot.
Are we excluding conflicts that involve NATO members but are technically Europe-adjacent?
