Welcome to MoG!

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.

Those are all good points.
I suppose applying it to the Israeli Settlements would be more apt. I reckon if the settlements were dismantled, then the whole anti-zionist stuff would fall apart.
The asshole settlers are hated by 99% of the Israeli population because these assholes make it worse on purpose, they are however not the Israeli government and not on behalf of Israel and these people are basically persona ingrata in Israel itself, most of them are basically Faschists themselves and i wouldn't care for their deaths, they do actually kill innocent people and by doing so endangering the normal Israeli civilians to terrorism. I do wish that the Israeli government would do more against them, but most of the time their resources are bound by the terrorists all around Israel and the capacity to remove the settlements isn't there, also the ass head Netanjahu, or rather some people around him are in favor of them, they are hated by the Israeli people as well.
Why hasn't Israel dismantled the settlements if everyone hates them?
Good question, because some minority in the government blocks that constantly its obvious that Netanjahu is not going to survive the next election, probably nothing of his government. Maybe the next one wollte do something. But these "settlers" are seen as a minor problem compared to the terrorists for obvious reasons.
