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 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 as opposed to arguing.
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.

"Social credit", the bullshit about Taiwan being "native territory", trying to bully their way into territory expansion and their support of Russia kinda sets a specific tone, doesn't it?
Fuck that Chinese dictatorship and all the fucking Internet shills that can't help but suck CCP dick.
It's super easy to get to the bottom of propaganda articles without knobbers like you starting shit wherever they can.
This ain't about "US good" or "China bad". I am just calling out that dumbfucks like you are 90% of the problem with how people from different countries perceive each other. Did you really aim to convince anyone of your beliefs? I don't think so.
Go back to .ml where you belong.
China has a democratically elected government. Your liberal talking points make you sound like a sheep.
Yes, North Korea as well. God, these liberals are so stupid.
Welp, since we have gone down that path, I think this liberal talking point is hysterical: https://youtu.be/K9AF6OtHtYs
(The above even includes a hair of excessive drama that is even a bit much for me.)
I await your wall of URLs of counter points, hopefully mixed with some deflection and tie-ins to political affiliation. According to your brethren on ml, the issues with these cities were resolved two years ago...
Also, did you notice which community you are in?
Heh. This isn’t really doing much for me. The giant argument against China is they built too much housing? I generally avoid these discussions as there’s no way to cut through all the shit that’s been thrown at the wall. The liberals will keep rooting for their shitty oppressive system while the minority that sees through it hopes for something better for the next generation. I commented right before sleeping, whoops! The government has an insanely high approval rating, according to Harvard, but I have busy day ahead of me and regret commenting in a community that basically does nothing but bitch about socialists. Hope your day is swell.
