    The authors give away their ideology when they conflate anti-Zionism with anti-semitism.

    If you think Zionism is a good thing, you’re supporting genocide.

        Technically true. I am therefore a Zionist. That doesn’t mean I want to see Israel expand into Jordan or even expand settlements in the WB.

              Most of the time it’s pointing out dog whistles and common slogans antisemites use to identify one another while also radicalising “normies”

                  Okay, sure. So, an example is the red arrow; you’ve probably seen some Twitter users or Hexbear users have the red arrow when referring to zionists.

                  This red arrow is a reference to Hamas propaganda videos, which in of itself is a reference to the Holocaust A “normie” would never know this, but extremists and antisemites can use it to identify one another while handwaving those who point out the dog whistle, ‘Oh, it’s just an arrow, don’t be so paranoid.’

                Today yes but before it creation no, because zionists was imigrants that wanted to force a state by ethenically cleansing local population. It’s still ok to believe in a one state with equal right too

                Does palestine has a right to exists too?

                    Zionists do not support it , they always refused to give back all the land that was occupied by israel in 67 those land are palestinians under international law and do not support a one state solution either that would allow israeli and palestinian in the whole land of mandate palestine and live together with equal rights

      And you give away your ideology with this comment. You are the extreme they are talking about.

      Where do they conflate it? Here’s an excerpt from the quote they provide as an example of antisemitism:

      Everyone identifing as a jew is a zionist and an enemy of the communist and anti imperialist movement.

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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.

Brigading — 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.
