When a tankie post comes up, post a legitimate, fair argument. Do not argue in bad faith. No matter how nasty the post may be. Legitimately combat the disinformation there by going into their bubble and posting a sane response.

Watch the responses come in. Especially if the post is on the tankie triad.

Don't feed the trolls. Don't respond to anything, unless there is actually a legitimate attempt to have a legitimate discussion. Otherwise, start a game of tankie bingo to help prevent yourself from responding to the madness.

Suggestions for expansion welcome.

Big fan of the added suggestions which include

before we talk you have to watch this YouTube video [ie. If this conversation is to continue, you gotta have some idea about what were talking about and I don't trust you to read anything]
NATOpedia [Wikipedia is famously above being critiqued as a source, we all know this. Unless of course we cite it]
you're a transphobe [lmao telling on yourself]
you just hate leftism! [Anti communist and a transphobe? Wow who would have seen that coming]
changing the subject [I do this in real life when I want to keep things polite and I can tell I'm talking to a belligerent dumbass]
"already been debunked" [see I told you I don't trust you to read]
controlling the conversation (wg insisting something is not what we're discussing) [I thought we weren't allowed to change the subject?]

I don't have snarky things for the rest. 2/10 @PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social see me after class. Also you might want to consider not telling on yourself so much.
