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.
Join the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance!

You don't think the Uyghurs are in concentration camps? They're well-documented and corroborated by multiple sources and legal precedents. China themselves have said they're "re-education camps"
For the love of god get over yourself and what the entirety of the video already. You're linking an article about the same thing Bad Empanada talks about, except he goes more in depth with actual sources to back up what he's talking about (which the BBC article doesn't do).
Me, you and Bad Empanada are all in agreement on what is happening in Xinjiang but because you don't like Bad Empanada and you probably also don't like me (because I dared to link Bad Empanada) you seem to think we're in disagreement. We're not. Don't do a Destiny and decide what (or who) is right or wrong based on how you feel about things.
I don't know you.
But I would like to know more about what nuance is used for using a nuke to blow up a country.
I've already addressed what I meant by nuance and I'm not going to repeat myself. At this point I'm just going to assume you're doing this in bad faith, so I'm not going to respond again until you start acting like a normal person.
okay, your choice
