It's always hard to tell if people are trolling or if they're really just that stupid.

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.

Almost always children: so a blend of both.
Manchildren, yeah. I've seen what they look like. They all have neckbeards, skinny, lanky or fat.
they are proud of their ignorance
It seems like he just doesn't like fiction novels. Either that or he possibly has never read any books period.
He talks like the kind of person who considers themselves to be a philosophy expert because they watched all of the Matrix films.

So a tankie. They rarely talk about fictional works.
I mean, "Andromeda" by Yefremov may be an exception (the one really confirming the existence of a rule\custom, though, in accordance with that Roman legal principle).
Still, holy sh*t, a person who hasn't read anything by Asimov.
And I kinda had an impression commies would love him. Some of those I've met did.
Calling Wiesel a surface level critique of a bad thing is so yikes
