That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

What could be worse than rampant racism and child porn?

Tankies, yeah, it's definitely tankies!

[–] [email protected] -5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Well I've never been harassed, doxxed, and threatened to be murdered by racists or pedophiles simply because I disagree with them. Only tankies and fascists would do that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah, racists would never harass or threaten people...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You haven't ever been doxxed period, and racists have harassed killed and doxxed even for minor shit, unless your definition of fascist is very liberal

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Sure it was an attempted doxxing because they're incompetent. I'm well aware of the evils on the internet and do a decent job remaining anonymous.

Tankies have killed as many people as the Nazis, actually more. Much more deaths attributed to tankies than racists could ever dream to commit.

Why are you defending tankies?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Good, fuck them Nazis. Also fuck them tankies. If you're in the fringes, you're likely a monster. That's not exactly a hot take, lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm not, and I dont care who killed more people, why are you defending racists?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I'm not, all I was saying is that tankies are worse than racists.

Edit: they're equally as evil as Nazis IMO.

I too love to make unsourced claims that minimize the evil of the Nazis.

Ah, so you're very sneakily using inconsistent metrics to downplay the Nazis, counting every death that resulted from the policy of communists, but only counting direct and deliberate killings by Nazi Germany.

In other words, you are doing deliberate Nazi apologism.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I knew before I even posted that link you'd try to explain it away, but I didn't expect you to accuse me of Nazi apologia 🤣.

Have fun in your life friendo.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

So you were well aware that your "source" didn't hold up even before you posted it.

Though it's unsurprising that a Nazi apologist would be deliberately disingenuous

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, I knew you wouldn't take my source in good faith because you're a tankie.

That Nazi angle is wild 🤣. Please quote me praising Nazis.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

By "wouldn't take my source in good faith" you of course mean "wouldn't unquestioningly accept it without reading it". You'll notice that my criticism of what you and your source are doing - deliberately using different metrics to give the data the appearance that it says what you want it to - is completely true and you can't dispute it, so instead you're just going to arbitrarily declare that it's "bad faith" and "tankie" to make completely true criticisms of your deliberate dishonesty

And again, you are doing this as a way to downplay the evil of the Nazis, aka Nazi apologia.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Look dawg, you can just say tankie ideology had more time to massacre those under its influence. I won't get mad. Nazis had a shorter run. Who cares about specific numbers when the slaughter of innocents is involved? They both grind up children, women, and men into lost opportunities...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

See? You still can't around the fact that my criticism of what you and your source are doing - using inconsistent methods to make it appear like the data says what you want it to - so know you're just throwing out random deflections and bad faith non-sequitors.

Who cares about specific numbers

You, dog. You were the one who thought it was such a big deal to be able to say that Nazis killed fewer people than communists that you went to great length to find and manipulate statistics to falsely suggest it. You were the one who made that claim in the first place. It's much too late for you to try to pretend you don't care now.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'll hear you out if you can detail those, "inconsistent methods," you keep squawking about.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Lol, I already did, indeed I made sure to repeat it several times, knowing that you would try to feign amnesia. But of course, you already know that - or you wouldn't have been trying to desperately pivot to "well who even cares about the numbers!" - and are still just being disingenuous on purpose, as people doing Nazi apologia usually do.
