What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

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.

Maybe you‘re concern trolling, but you sure as fuck are not „just asking“, because the point has been correctly made and all you do is trying to destruct it to nothing. Ableism is not that complicated to decipher, as you make it out and in this case it‘s clearly that. You are a dishonest person and I wish you‘d be more sincere. But all you do is excusing hate speech in all it‘s forms in this very community.
We‘ve been there with dehumanization, on two occasions, you ignored it and distracted. We are now here with ableism. And what you do is you are talking it away, you throw it under the bus, so the greater point of „tankies deleting innocent comments“, when the comment in question itself can be considered hate speech, because it‘s fantasizing about the idea of finding excuses to kill a group of people, is hate speech in and of itself.
I think you are pretending to have trouble understanding, that what I put in quotes is a paraphrazation of the original comment. You again chose to play the naiv person only to muddy the waters; it’s a disgrace in favor of hate speech. You are willful ignorant to the point of malice. And here we are adding fantasizing about killing a group of people to the list of the hate speech you ignore.
I laid that out several times now. I‘m not interested in playing that game with you. You had ample opportunity to engage with my arguments.
E: Put simply, you ignore, defend and encourage hate speech towards an outgroup.
You can be a fascist with a disability. It‘s dumb, tho, but I offer you a change in perspective. But you fail to engage in any critique I put forward and therefore conclude, that you are acting in bad faith. Please start looking in the metaphorical fucking mirror.
I like to clear up miscommunication, which we've done, and have come to an understanding that mental illness doesn't remove someone's personhood. I originally thought that Renz was defending mental illness, that it's something that doesn't diminish somebody, hence my asking. Now we know what sort of ableism we're referring to, because it's frankly a broad topic, since disability comes in all shapes and sizes. I don't know why you're so conspiratorial about it.
How am I excusing hate speech? Show me if there's hate speech in this community, and I'll tackle it.
Also, no idea what sort of dehumanisation you're referring to. If anything, aren't you dehumanising me by calling me a fascist? Is this all just projection from you?
And where did killing people come from???
What are you even on about, dude? Like, where's any of this stuff coming from?
