Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
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.
Technically since racism is prejudice + power, we'd have to know they belong to whatever ethnic group holds power to know it's racist, it might be prejudice instead. The race actually does matter according to the sociological definition, that's why in the US they say only white people can be racist, in China it'd be Han Chinese, etc.
Edit: Seriously, I'm not making it up, if you disagree fine, but you disagree with sociologists not me (who is not a sociologist, but merely took two classes on it in my youth.)
Here see for yourself:
https://sociologydictionary.org/racism/
(noun) Any attitude, belief, or behavior used to explain and justify prejudice and discrimination against racial or ethnic minorities, on the basis of perceived inferiority.
By definition, any attitude, belief, or behavior used to explain and justify prejudice on a racial or ethnic majority is not included.
I literally got suspended for saying the stuff you guys are, good thing we aren't in American High School or College right now.
Racism can be against any group of people that are from a certain area or ethnic group power has 0 meaning for that.
And I know that many people in the US have some mental problems regarding political words and meanings.
Everone can be racists, Latinos and Black people are racists against each other in USA they also tend to be racist against Jewish people.
It sounds to me like you're racist against Americans
See, there is the difference, USA is a immigration country with no coherent similarities between everyone. Especially because I spoke about two specific group's and the fact that US public language uses words that had meaning but the average speaker ignores it and uses it as dog whistle without actually meaning anything.
Are there other immigration countries?
Don't say Gaza.
Canada
I'm suddenly realizing this probably applies to our whole hemisphere.
Most of the both Americas are immigration nations
