"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.

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.

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.

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 mean technically speaking, "solar mass" is connected to flat earth theory, so please avoid using it.

Someone got their comment mocking this person deleted.

They said, “do you even know what words mean?”

.ml mod/admin in their ban reply: “reason: Yes, I studied the history of holocaust apologetics”

My eyes may get stuck, they’re rolling so hard. What would they say if I correctly characterized the third reich as authoritarian? Does that somehow make me a Holocaust denier? The logical inconsistency is making my brain hurt, somebody help please

Kind of like when you call Hitler a form of socialist and get banned for "complimenting hitler"

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There’s about the same amount of socialism in national socialism as there is democratic republicanism directly north of the Republic of Korea.

Beware those who claim to have your best interest at heart

It's awfully convenient that anything that could possibly lead to criticism of red fash is unacceptable to them.

Disempower the language of an oppressed group, and you disempower the group.

Me [facts are making me sad]: the word "bad" is literal Nazi genocide, please switch to "plusungood."
