Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
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 it 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.
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 arguments that lack mutual agreement.
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 banned.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

You are just giving examples of (what you think is) more pro-Israel bias. Regardless of whether it is so, I gave you an example of pro Hamas bias and The Guardian article does not address my example.
Zionists crying is not evidence.
Here is who runs the BBC middle east news. Literal Israeli ex-IDF.
So you cannot refute my point and have to resort to mocking. I showed you evidence of where BBC retracted their statement calling Hamas terrorists. Now it is up to you to show that they did call them terrorists elsewhere.
My point is that the bias isn't one way in BBC.
What is typical ProPal is starting a war then crying when losing. Oct 6 looks pretty good now doesn't it?
Have you been calling for Hamas to surrender or at least stop hiding in hospitals? If you care about civilian collateral deaths.
