Ah, I think that explains why users like Cowbee can say some of the most ridiculous shit while everyone elses comments are deleted.

Welcome to MoG!

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 live in South Korea and served mandatory military service. Every time I come across this kind of shit I lose my mind.
I understand why they need the bomb. I understand that a lot of shit on the mainstream media is not 100% faithfully true about them.
They are also crazy, inhumane, deserve way more condemnation and ultimately, consequences. To think that a country that executes people for escaping from them can be "fine".
They have never recognized Israel
That is not a reason to shill for NK, or anything.
I hoped this was just a knee-jerk reaction to imperialism, which is so unappealing on its own but they keep coming up with new ways to fuck my head up. I really hope that they move to NK and enjoy life sans human rights and freedom to talk shit on the Internet.
There is a strong irony is disliking US imperialism, but then loving the Soviet flavor.
Here's the weird thing. Best Korea is the best country ever and is not authoritarian (made up word) or oppressive at all, yet they prefer to live in the evil imperialist west? Like I know the whole "if you love that country so much why don't you blah blah" is old and tired, but if they GENUINELY believe the hype, legitimately why wouldn't they want to live there?
Where do the devs live?
Definitely not NK.
The one in the OP afaik in ~~Canada~~ the imperial core 😏
I might be conflating them with one of the many other tankies I have tagged, so I can't say I know for sure. If anyone can fact check me that'd be welcome.
What I do know is that there are some tankies on ml who live in the US, and I can't comprehend why they wouldn't leave for best Korea.
I find that they aren't that different from magats. They want Simple Solutions to complex problems. And strong men to implement it. They don't want to have to deal with endless debates involved in democracy or even in anarchy.
All the talk of them reading all of these tomes on Theory. May as well be Drudge Report, or daily wire. They have a lot of baseless out there theories as well. Pizza parlors with no basement housing child sex dungeons in the non-existent basements. Hillary Clinton vampire fanfiction Etc . When you don't engage critical thinking. You will always be confused when things don't work the way you thought they would.
rich people tend to be lazy.
most tankies are ironically rich and feel guilty and ashamed for being rich, but they're too lazy or inept to assist with their cause. So it's much easier to do nothing but shout words.
get back to work dessalines
No he needs more money. For like, development. Not for being cringe. That's not what the donations are for.
Watch as people will move more and more To Piefed you'll start seeing proper developpement on lemmy again.
