Had some fun with this. Rules:

  1. When a tankie post comes up, post a legitimate, fair argument. Do not argue in bad faith. No matter how nasty the post may be. Legitimately combat the disinformation there by going into their bubble and posting a sane response.
  2. Watch the responses come in. Especially if the post is on the tankie triad.
  3. Don’t feed the trolls. Don’t respond to anything, unless there is actually a legitimate attempt to have a legitimate discussion. Otherwise, start a game of tankie bingo to help prevent yourself from responding to the madness.

Suggestions for expansion welcome.

    Lack of nuance there just means you’re not supposed to be rude to IDF soldiers in general because every once in a while one of them has the decency to follow their leader.

      I always forget about that nuance. That’s the nuance where I remember that IDF soldiers blowing up Gaza are human beings with feelings and they have compulsory military service? But then I always go too far with that nuance and remember that they can go to jail if they refuse to serve, and many of them have. Or they leave. Nuance can be so pesky!
