Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works is recommended.

Authoritarian supporters. Most don't just excuse the authoritarian regimes, they actively support them.

I’m thinking apologist is a good word here. It fits the religious overtones of how they behave.
