What is a Tankie?
(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 it 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.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

AI hallucinations are a waste of time.
You're still ascribing me ideas that I didn't say or even outright denied (particularly this nonsense: accidentally perpetuating Russian propaganda which actually isn’t even provably Russian propaganda), and you're not even trying to corrobate your previous claims. It's actually crazy how hard you're ignoring the things I wrote even on points where we agree. You do have to understand that US is a very different country from yours and you can't project all of your local issues onto it. US's relationship to and perspective on Russia is different from yours in Finland, and just as their right-wingers could have latched onto one strain of Russian propaganda, so could their Marxists; you likely won't find clear parallels to their logic in your home country due to different history, political climate, proximity to Russia, etc. But you have to understand that in different countries different political positions can arise due to different circumstances.
That sounds very worrying, I hope you're just joking here.
Um, what? Did I say anything regarding your own nationality? Why in the world would I suspect you're Russian, why would you have to prove to anyone you're not?
You have some issues bigger than some pro-Russian useful idiots on a small forum. I won't reply anymore because I don't want to make you puke, I wish you all the best.
Oh like how you're joking with this inane "nuh uh, you can't prove water is wet" thing?
Your rhetoric is hilarious. Let's go over a bit of it. So you're grabbing tons of hallucinated implications from my text, while saying that when you write things, it's purely 100% prescriptive? (Yes, you're gonna have to Google what that means, unfortunate, isn't it?)
"I'm quitting not because it's so hard to even argue water isn't wet, but because I so sympathetic to people laughing at me"
Genuinely, like, you can't proofread your own comments or you just don't see how ridiculous they are? :D
So, again "some pro-Russian useful idiots". What proof do you have they're not agents of the Russian government, and are American instead? Oh, did you perhaps hallucinate that? Awww :((
I'm no stranger to being irritable and combative, but I'm gonna have to ask you to cool off and take a break from this particular conversation.
