"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


What is a Tankie?


Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of bias)


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 or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.

Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.

If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

I think it's simple to see how greedy people try to take as much as they can without thinking of the consequences. Money and power are a drug

Again if it's just power and money then they would be very much interested in continuation of human spices.

sorry to interrupt but do you believe in climate change and if you do do you understand that since the Paris Agreement the oil companies have been pull more oil out of the ground? if each of these are yes's then what is it your saying? chop of ones noise to spite ones face.

I'm saying humans, even ones opponents are complex and seldom governed by single motives. Most people understand it about themself but like to deny it to others, especially they disagree with or don't like.

do you know anyone with a serious gambling addiction? its hard to witness, total self destruction. most higher earners CEO's have much higher risk tolerance which is what makes a gambler. beyond that, tests done on business students showed higher level of sociopath, and 1 in 3 high level corporate employees/inverter/CEO's are psychopath. these aren't normal people.

I don't think that's how greed work

Thinking that people you don't like are one dimensional won't bring you very far.

[–] index@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not thinking won't bring you very far either

[–] gap_betweenus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

That does not even make any sense.

🤣

I love it when your ilk fails to popularize backwards ideas and retort with a "you big dumb" style argument.
