Someone didn't watch Pirates of the Caribbean growing up...
It's about projecting the fear of death, but it's not like the Nazis have a monopoly on that.

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.

It was just the sheer fucking balls of the bland "That doesn't really answer my question" response lol
As if brain has one.
Brain in a box in a storage unit he lost the keys to

Viva la revolution, death to tyrants, I'm sad that mao didn't die earlier 🤣
Literally, the moment mao died, everything in China started to get better.
Brain is just there to rage bait.
Fine here is your answer:
This is not about skull and crossbones you morons!
While Totenkopf in German refers to skull and cross bones, when using the German word in an English language context it refers to the SS version specifically. You know, the exact version on the tattoo.
This is the same for other word like Lebensraum.
when using the German word in an English language context it refers to the SS version specifically
I mean, not really. From the Wikipedia article:
In English, the term Totenkopf is commonly associated with 19th- and 20th-century German military use, particularly in Nazi Germany.
So yes, it means the Nazi one and also those other ones. (Inb4 we have an extended pointless argument about the meaning of the word "particularly.") In any case, regardless, BIAB was implying that there was no history of it outside of Naziism.
Ohh no nazi is protesting the government of nepal amd indonesia
I'm still 50/50 if they guy who has had consistent progressive messaging while rocking a SS tattoo is a progressive or a Nazi.
It hardly matters because I can't vote on him. He's going to win, so I really hope he isn't a secret Nazi.
