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 as opposed to arguing.
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.

That's a derogatory term for white people, yes, who cannot experience racism as white people are not systemically oppressed.
Ah yes the old "racism can only be systemic" fallacy. That's systemic racism, this is an example of interpersonal racism which doesn't have to be systemic to be racism. I know you probably don't care about how it can affect white people, but ignoring the existence of interpersonal racism or acting like it can only go one way hurts marginalized groups too, so don't be doing that k.
Racism is a system.
You're a tool
Life is a journey, time is a river, the door is a jar. Words can have more than one meaning.
But "racism" can't mean, "a thing experienced by white people as a result of being white".
I really want to ask you a couple of things:
Yes it can, because that's a form of interpersonal racism, which is prejudice towards someone because of their perceived race/skin colour. It's not systemic racism when it happens to white people, sure, but it's still racism. Systemic racism isn't the only kind of racism.
Anti-white racism is not a thing.
Yes it is. It doesn't matter how many times you try to claim otherwise, it's an objective fact that anti-white racism is a thing. White people can absolutely experience inter-personal racism. Pretending they can't isn't helping anyone, least of all minority groups. It's just denying reality for the sake of either an agenda, or your own personal feelings on the matter. How white people experience racism is different from how minorities experience racism, I won't deny that, but claiming that they don't experience it at all is just flat out lying. You don't need to stoop to that level.
White people wanna be oppressed so bad.
I didn't say anything about oppression hon, we're talking about racism.
Which white people can never experience for being white. Glad we're on the same page.
No, you're in your own little world and not paying attention, just like people who say the earth is flat and global warming doesn't exist. Saying it doesn't make it true dear.
man americans are hopeless lmao
What would you call discrimination and prejudice towards people based on their race or ethnicity, in a word?
White people can't experience racism. White people are the beneficiaries of racism.
Telling a beneficiary of global white supremacy his podcast sucks is not racism.
Not taking a stance on if his podcast sucks as I have never heard of him. Discaring for the dude's takes and insulting him for it still isn't racism. He is white.
I'm not sure which comment you're responding to as it does not appear to be an answer to the question posed, which was: What would you call discrimination and prejudice towards people based on their race or ethnicity, in a word?
They aren't going to answer cause they are a piece of shit who is a racist.
I suspect the answer is a bit more simple - they've a comment history of concern trolling rife with, shall we say alternate facts - I suspect they're just trying to bait out uncivil replies for a report and ban.
I suppose it's possible they're actually so deep into that koolaid as to be approaching flat earth levels of theories but I try to not assume people are that far gone.
Long as they follow the rules they won't be banned.
Of course. That's why it works.
Wew lad, I hope this is just a poor attempt at trolling
Yeah idk who decided to start spreading the idea that the only racism is systemic racism but they have a lot to answer for.
yikes
