Had some fun with this. Rules:
- 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.
“Lack of nuance” lmao what?
And finally
Nuance is when you support the status quo, but pretend to be sad about it.
Real nuance is of course supporting Hamas, Iran and Russia in their war against the American empire
I like my nuance Al Jazeera style. Mostly principled but with some questionable takes on Syria and Iran.
‘I sit on a man’s back, choking him, and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by any means possible, except getting off his back.’
— Leo Tolstoy, 1886
Lack of nuance there just means you're not supposed to be rude to IDF soldiers in general because every once in a while one of them has the decency to follow their leader.
I always forget about that nuance. That’s the nuance where I remember that IDF soldiers blowing up Gaza are human beings with feelings and they have compulsory military service? But then I always go too far with that nuance and remember that they can go to jail if they refuse to serve, and many of them have. Or they leave. Nuance can be so pesky!

The “lmao” really sells it, appropriate reaction to being asked to join the apartheid clown squad
The only Israeli whose claims of any kind of legitimacy are correct.
Apply the handy guide!
Nuance that suggests that the narrative fed to me by my western liberal media is correct enough, even if it's flawed? Good nuance!
Nuance that suggests that US capitalist empire is destroying the world even in cases where the humans in that system try to reform it in helpful but insufficient ways? Bad nuance!
Do they make those handy guides with glow-in-the-dark ink? I’d love to read one but I’ve jammed my head in the trash can of ideology and it’s dark in here.
They mean we don't appreciate nuances like "free market in drinking water" or "legally killed child"
Every good communist party needs a cat.
Well, what you need is a cuddly baby bear, but those are in short supply, so Tigger will have to stand in for Pooh Bear, cuddly cats will do in place of cuddly bears.
