"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.

I'd like to say they could enjoy the company of more liberals if they didn't ban them on sight due to their desire to feel superior and inability to tolerate differing opinions, but I couldn't respond because I was banned. (Ban reason: "liberalism")

Then maybe they shouldn’t ban everyone who doesn’t believe in exactly Marxist-Leninist Socialism with Dessalinist characteristics. I’m happy to debate them on a fair open platform but they’re hiding over there where any facts that contradict the narrative will be removed.

I realize this is almost exactly what you said OP but I had to get it out there. I used to like arguing with them too. During the Reddit migration the mods were too busy to ban me but now things are a lot stricter.

Now read all 700 pages of theory before coming back and talking to me, lib! Your argument is automatically invalid if you don't!

Marxist-Leninist Socialism with Dessalinist characteristics

I didn't know buddy had his own personality cult😆

Same. I even brought receipts. But I stopped subbing to most ml communities and stopped seeing them. It's probably for the best though, since I wasted a lot of time on that, but I like to think others benefited from reading the exchange.

bans liberals

Where are all the liberals?

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe the liberals are all just in their head... phantom libs.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 18 points 3 weeks ago

I enjoyed fucking with the hexbears was very entertaining. Am banned for liberalism tho

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Insane how it's really all just a game and entertainment to them.

[–] elliot_crane@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Meaningful debate and discussion would require an open mind, and they’re clearly lacking in that department.

Or at least facts.

[–] Lianodel@ttrpg.network 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My favorite part is when they complain about the overuse of the word "tankie," then call literally every other kind of leftist a lib.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Shitlib this, Blue MAGA that. They love to dish out their slurs and namecalling, but can't handle it being served back to them. Kinda makes it hard to take them seriously sometimes lmao
