The Circassians were almost wiped out because of Stalin.
There was nothing wrong in the old Ukrainian border.
There was nothing wrong in the Gulags.
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.

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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from 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 permanently banned.
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.

I have a feeling people understand the reference but not anything else
I had never heard of Ba Sing Se until like a week ago.
In the before times we would say “We have always been at war with Eastasia.”
He wrote this after I mentioned the deportations of minorities. https://feddit.org/post/23285753/10619658

Ngl, my country didn't cover much about european side of the ww2, and through the tankie triad, i'm learning more and more about these monster than i could ever have through my school, very cool of them.
Those ethnicities were counter-revolutionary so it's good to murder them actually.
(Hopefully incredibly obvious but this is sarcasm)
Looks like Davel is reading in on this and using laugh emojis like some boomer on Facebook.
I googled it and the Circasssian Genocide (which I never heard of before) took place during the 19th Century, almost 100 years before Stalin came into power.
I'd be interested to learn more if you have a source?

can just google "ussr atrocities." Like any country, you're likely to find more than you wanted
Oh yeah. Mixed it up with the Ingush and Chechen deportations.
Ah yeah, reminds me a lot of the genocidal resettlements perpetrated by the United States.
"Hey so if killing Nazis is the metric, then the US and Britain must be super good guys too. They killed a bunch of Nazis too when they were allied with the Soviets, all a big Nazi killing party."
