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.

And Israel isn’t doing genocide, they are just a little too reckless,

Literal genocidal rhetoric from Israel's ruling government as they kill 1 out of every 100 Gazans alive before the start of the war.

You gotta need to source that claims, and by source i don't want to see you taking the numbers of the hamas propaganda ministry or their Gaza health ministry, and i also don't want to see any sources just repeating those numbers.

Pretty sure they passed 'reckless' a while ago.

nobody is giving a F about turkey turning Syria and the region Kurdistan into wastelands because they want to eradicate the people there.

This may come as a shock, but discussions of Turkish attempts at genocide and ethnic cleansing of Kurds are actually quite a big deal amongst people who follow international politics.

Haven't seen protests regarding that... There is a difference between a discussion once in a while and the propaganda war against Israel happening, "free Palestina" protests the on day of and days after those people did a actual genocide...

You are also kinda silent about the fact that Israel is literally self defending in a war not started by them.

Is the IDF acceptable as a source? The IDF claimed 10-12,000 'fighters' killed and a ~50% civilian casualty ratio - meaning by their own estimates, back in February, they'd killed 20-24,000 Gazans - or about 1-in-100 of the prewar Gazan population.

I don't give a fuck who started it. Genocide still isn't an acceptable response. There's a reason why support for Israel started high after Oct 7 and plummeted in the following months. And it's not because everyone decided antisemitism was going to be the next hot thing.

Straight up Forgot that Gaza has just about 1 million people... Sorry for that, yeah its right.

But you putting Fighters as in Terrorists in quotes tells a story of its own.

I agree, there is however no genocide committed by Israel.

There's a reason why support for Israel started high after Oct 7 and plummeted in the following months.

Thats not true, the "support" was very low from the start and then hamas started their very efficient propaganda campaign with the help of aljazeera, UN and "NGOs" like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International wich is still ongoing. You people play into the hands of Terrorists and i think you do it knowingly, maybe because its popular right now, maybe because you hate jews, maybe because you hate Israel or maybe because you don't understand whats going on in reality.

And it's not because everyone decided antisemitism was going to be the next hot thing.

It never actually stopped being a big thing and many people fell for the propaganda the terrorists made. Antisemitism just started to be more obvious. There are enough people spraying shit like "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free" a antisemitic therm on synagogues or shit like "stop the genocide" or many other things, this is antisemitism, it was there before, the antisemitic people just feel like its socially accepted now.

Wich it absolutely shouldn't be, you people however help to promote this mindset, i don't think you personally do that on purpose however, i think you actually believe that there is a "genocide" and you think you do the right thing, i tell you, you are not doing good.
