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.

Literally everything he says and does.
But only skepticism towards Russia doing disinformation. It's not like if you were a person who was purposefully spreading Russian disinfo that you'd have a vested interest in literally always being "skeptical" towards anyone trying to catch you out in said disinfo?
No, of course not, what's the proof for that?
Its hilarious that you don't realise how utterly garbage your rhetoric is. It's like arguing a 12-year old irl :D
What's the proof that Vicky with three kisses was working for the British?
Combating Russian propaganda begins with calling it out for what it is, not sucking Putler's smegma-y cock every chance you get.
It's not more evidence that he's Russian than just a Russian shill living anywhere else. Do you think those people don't exist on the internet? The fact you talk about Russian propoganda relies on the fact they exist. If they didn't, what is the propoganda doing?
Lol. OK buddy.
Hold up. You're making the comparison of a Germany making fake Nazi messages to this? Doesn't that go against your point? The equivalent here is that he's an American being used by Russia to convert other Americans! What argument are you making?
Dude, saying that the only people who could speak favorably about Russia is letting them get away with spreading propoganda. If there's no risk that it's converting other people then we need not be weary of it. If we instead realize that it does have an effect and it has converted people, then it let's us combat the actual effects. You're arguing for being nieve.
Ah, so I'm equally as likely to be Ugandan, Russian or Australian, or whichever country from, despite having posted photographs of #Finnish so dogtags and having said I'm Finish.
Because prove that it's not as likely that I'm not Finnish. You can't. I'm just as likely to be from Uganda. There's just no way to know! ^/s
Yep. The fact you keep thinking you're good at this is hilarious to me. You do know that people who are shit at things often overestimate their skills, right? You know that's a fact, right? Oh wait... that joke might require introspection. :(
So Vicky with Three Kisses was undoubtedly a faithful German working for the Reich, right? You can't prove she wasn't!
Xdddd
Keep it coming I love it
"let us combat the actual effects of this thing I'm fervently defending while thinking it's not painfully obvious" Heheheheheheheheheheheh
Oh shit I have to renew my ventoline you're literally killing me
That would explain all your bullshit.
As far as I'm aware, he has not posted pictures of where he's from. It's most likely that he's American, because the most users are. It is incredibly unlikely that he's Ugandan. Sure, the probability isn't zero, but it's low.
Wow, you're actually an idiot! You won't admit how stupid your argument was, so you shift to something totally different! Wow, this is crazy. I'm done here, but feel free to keep going. I guess I should have taken the advice of "don't argue with idiots. They'll pull you down to their level and win with experience." I don't think you've won here. Based on the ratio, everyone sees how bad your shit stinks. However, you think you're winning. Just stay on the offensive, and provide no evidence, and it'll surely make people believe you're winning, right?
Why is it most likely?
Because... you believed so?
Well this is undoubtedly the most ironic thing I've read this year.
"This guy spreading purposeful Russian propaganda and suckling Putler's teat to every last inch is actually not a Russian, there's not even remote evidence he's a Russian and actually he's American and that means you should always s question support for the imperialist capitalist forces you remain bound to in your nations comrades! And btw, this is me being socially progressive and not a Marxist-Leninst moron"
Ruahahaha haha
"I'm done here"
No you're not lol. You're so mad and like severely on a mission that you definitely won't stop replying. You're so utterly utterly utterly pissed because I brought up Синдром Вахтёра but ofc you can't reply showing you know what I mean.
And when you pretend not to, it's kind of hilariously. I'd love to play poker with real money with you. Although I don't accept rubles.
