It’s weird they all claim to hate genocides but they refuse to admit China or Russia are committing them.
This, China absolutely is committing genocide as we type...
Double standards.
I knew a Chinese guy who was a police officer in China before he left, even he said they were there to keep the people in line.
I think having a long conversation with a Chinese expat would be very enlightening for these people.
They would angrily argue with the Chinese expat about what China is really like.
You're probably right actually.
Didn't Jackie Chan say something along the lines of the people need to be controlled? I thought this was a pretty widely understood fact. The police are there to keep the population in check.
Low key, soup is actually a kind of tea, though.
And breakfast cereal is a cold soup.
Therefore breakfast cereal is cold-brew grain tea.
How is soup water called in English actually?
Oh god tea is a broth.
"Tea" is actually short for "tea tree leaf broth". Trust me. I'm an entomologist.

Only 15 years? Pfft, putin has sat on his throne for over 30 years now (including one 4 year vacation where he still was a prime minister). 15 is rookie numbers.
People didn't like my comment either
Oh no, my tankie ideal is actually fascist? Woooooow.
They with foam leaking from mouth deny that current russian regime called putinism checks awfully a lot of boxes for the fascism definition. Especially during the current war and active mobilization.

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/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously 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. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
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.
