Tankies somehow believe that Tank Man is an example of the CCP's peaceful and loving nature. Take offence at school textbooks - 'See? They're willing to stop the tanks!'

    Nah, there’s no evidence he was murdered. There’s very little evidence about Tank Man’s identity or what happened to him.

    There are many theories as to who he was and what happened to him, but there’s no evidence for any of them. Curiously, the CCP say that they don’t have any records of the man, but it was also before the digital surveillance state that China is today.

    I think it’s fair to say that he was arrested, I mean, he interfered with the Chinese military after they slaughtered students. They’re not going to let him walk free.

      Well, only if they were able to identify him. It’s possible he escaped.

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 it 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.

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 arguments that lack mutual agreement.

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 banned.

Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.

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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

Don’t engage with Antiyanks – DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANTIYANKS. YOU DO NOT RECOGNISE ANTIYANKS. YOU DO NOT RECOGNISE ANTIYANKS.
