    Yes. He mentioned it in his reddit comments, but even if you don’t go out looking for it, there are various indicators - language (exclusively English), the fact lemmy.ml is registered from a US address, the fact that all of his discourse is heavily US-centric.

    Frankly, only an American can be this obsessed with CIA.

      The first paragraph seemed very subjective. The last sentence sold me.

      However, I dug a little bit into Kremlin propaganda about CIA propaganda, and whooo boy! It starts to get interesting really quick: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP90-00965R000402720002-8.pdf

      (That link could be CIA propaganda about Kremlin propaganda that’s about CIA propaganda… How deep does this go? Every time “propaganda” is discovered, they just add another layer, it seems.)

        seemed very subjective

        Him literally saying it is subjective? Operating from a US address is subjective? His language (including his natural American pronunciation that you can hear in his audiobooks) and the language of all of his sources is subjective?

        And yeah, sorry chief, CIA saying that people saying bad stuff about CIA is SSSR propaganda is a bit too much even for me. I’ll go ahead and say it - suggesting that a tankie, despite the actual evidence in his online activity, has simply got to be a non-American because clearly he just hates USA too much, is a very American-brained and Red-Scare-ish idea.

        I’ve no problem with you being skeptical, but consider the actual examples:

        What’s messed up, is that my US cell carrier, recently told me that my currently working 4g Xiaomi phone “won’t be supported” in like 3 months. They aren’t even turning off 4g, its just I suspect they’re trying to find ways to make sure chinese phones aren’t usable in the US.

        They can really arrest all of us. Police and prison budgets have been skyrocketing for 30+ years, its the biggest item in most city and state budgets.

        Leaf through his other comments as well, let me know what’s your impression.

          He has audiobooks? For reals? OMFG.

          The points you originally called out weren’t really much to say he was from the US. The additional information you gave was enough to convince me though. Thanks for that!

            He reads/records other people’s books and puts it on his YT channel that’s linked on his profile, it’s not his own writing.

            I guess I should’ve posted the reddit comments earlier on in the comment chain.

“Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he’s on the floor!”

Welcome to MoG!

Meanwhile On Grad

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.
