"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.

Tankies and communists often self-destruct. It's why their ideology will never get anywhere.

What a... confused meme.

Which leftists aren't calling Trump out on literally everything he does?

The ones made of straw.

The ones praising him for the ceasefire.

Oh they will but in the same breath say how Biden and Harris would have been exactly the same if not worse.

people responsible for its destruction in the first place.

At first I was going to say that I don't remember Netanyahu on the ballot, but then I remembered that Biden and Kamala personally went to Gaza and took turns eating babies as they laughed over the rubble of the buildings they personally destroyed.

They didn't even try to make a point, this is just "I don't like this!"

Is this because the OP has an .ml account? Their post history seems pretty generically pro-Palestine/anti-zionist and privacy/FOSS focused to jeer at them as a 'tankie'. There seems to be some definitional drift at work here.

Well yeah, that's basically all we post in this community.

You should look deeper into their account, you clearly haven't seen their Tankie comments and Tankie pro-Trump memes lol
