"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.

They believe if they don’t vote that the democrats will magically transform all of their policies to communist ideology to capture and extra 0.3% of voters at the expense of losing most of their voter base.

It’s funny because the users advocating for communism would be the first useless morons to wind up in work camps.

It's because it's a deeply religious position for tankies. They aren't interested in political strategy or, despite their claims, material conditions of society. They have utter disdain for 'shitlibs' like socdems and demsocs - the disdain they have for the vast majority of the population, who is even less on their side, is far greater. They have no desire to try and change opinions on the ground. Why would they want to stoop down to the level of ~~sinners~~ reactionaries? No, all they want is for the poors to suffer and the minorities to be exterminated in the hopes that their ~~rapture~~ sorry, proletarian revolution, will trigger because of ~~the end days~~ accelerationism.

Idunno. Most tankies are actually rich people, usually college-fund kids or nepo-baby manchildren. Rarely have I ever seen them actually complain about jobs that the poor do.

I'd be interested in some survey data. Someone should do a survey on hexbear.
