See that's the trick to it, under the US FPTP voting all of these examples are conservative, just as they could also be Tankies.

Tankie, tankie, tankie, conservative, conservative

Imma shoot my shot and say Conservative. Point 5 does it for me.

Edit: oop, misunderstood the game, thought these were all quotes from a singular person.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Each comment is from either a conservative or a tankie

Took the tankie comments from Hexbear, and the conservative comments from dumb reddit

1, 2, and 3 are tankies, 4 and 5 are conservative. (I think 5 is the trick one)

  1. Tankie, Conservatives don't defend Russia they're more apathetic to it
  2. Don't know who we're talking about, but I'm guessing Conservative
  3. Trick Question, literally everyone and their mother has said this one, but I'll have to say Tankie because Conservatives do not know history
  4. Conservative, unquestionable
  5. Tankie

My guess

  1. Tankie
  2. Conservative
  3. Conservative
  4. Conservative
  5. Tankie

I rather call them regressives than conservatives though.

Thanks! It's from a boardgame - Root.

It's an asymetric wargame. You have different factions, themed after various animals and fight to rule the Woodland.

There is a couple of basic rules that are common to all but then every faction has also its own rules, their own set of actions on how their turn works and how they score points. First to 30 victory points wins.

And obviously it has awesome art.

What are you using to determine the correct answers?

Their word?

cuz i know which one is from which :v

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

You guys a bunch of liberals?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I can only speak for myself, but no. I just recognize an extremist when I see it.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

You don't need to be a liberal to be against authoritarianism and the tankies that defend it. That should be something most sane, rational people would be against regardless of political beliefs.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

not everyone, we're a diverse community that is against tankie rhetoric and hatred.

[-] [email protected] -2 points 4 days ago

Man you don't got to be a tankie or a conservative to say the third one.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

true you can really swap it out for anyone.

'Communists and learning absolutely nothing from history, name a better duo'

'Conservatives and learning absolutely nothing from history, name a better duo'

'Gnostics and learning absolutely nothing from history, name a better duo'

You can go ahead and do that, but you won't find any similarities because it's liberals who defeat fascists.

Welcome to MoG!

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. โ€” Basically, don't be a dick.

Hate-Speech โ€” You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia โ€” (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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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.
