Speaking as someone who is extremely anti-Israel, it's astounding how tankies turn the doublethink on with "Genocide is bad" (correct) and "Massive ethnic cleansing of the modern state of Israel is morally correct" (wrong).

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.

I mean two of their chief idols committed crimes against humanity on massive scales. Largely on their own citizens, no less.
tankies be like: 'i would've been one of the good ones! :)'
Because at least in my experience dealing with them, they have no principles, only a 'team' they defend at all costs and attack the other team at all costs.
"But... What's this even got to do with communism anymore"
So many good little bits in here.
Israel will lose the fight.
Israel has yet to lose a war. Arguing for peace is way more effective than arguing for more bloodshed

I love the cute fantasizing. 'You paramilitaries have no idea what you're doing. If you all work together at the same time you can achieve anything!'
also love the cultural appropriation. just a few years ago, these guys would've freaked out if someone used another's culture to shitpost. maybe if i use automatically translated Arabic no one will notice my edge
Israel has yet to lose a war.
Well, they did lose the Sinai to Egypt, though it was more of a lost peace than a lost war. And it was more of a return to status quo anyway.
Egypt's relationship with Palestine and Israel is really interesting
coming from someone who is pro-palestinian how ironic they stand with Palestine even tho their communist ideology also causes a genocide like israel
