"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.

You would call the polish uprising in ww2 as bad as Hamas if it happened today

Did they use polish children as meat shields? Did they rape woman and dragged them through the streets?

[–] Volcanna@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The IDF has literally used meat shields (and children meatshields) and raped women (and children), as reported on multiple occasions in the past year alone.

Did I understand Gaza correctly that they elected Hamas but then Gaza hasn't had an election since, like, 2006? But the government keeps on ticking, trying to build hospitals, schools, have a health department and so on? Sounds like they have really stand up public servants to be honest.

But it's irrelevant who the government is because Israel will never acknowledge any Palestinian state?

Literally. Hamas has done basically nothing to help the people. The people of Gaza are the heroes Hamas and Israel are just a couple of monsters victimizing them.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hamas is the perfect partner for Israeli genocidaires. That's why Israel funded them in the first place.

If Fatah was still in power, Israel would’ve had a much more difficult time in demonizing Gaza in their propaganda outlets.
