"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 it 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.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
Don't engage with Antiyanks -- DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANTIYANKS. YOU DO NOT RECOGNISE ANTIYANKS. YOU DO NOT RECOGNISE ANTIYANKS.

More acceptable, but still unacceptable. In the over 30 years of voting in this state, no one I voted for above mayor has made it into office. And many of the ones are seditious, grifting, fascist, enablers. That ladder lover Hawley, should be marched up an extremely tall ladder with a rope around his neck. The rope pulled taut and the ladder kicked out from under him as he's effectively done to so many people.
Not even most Californians would want a president or prime minister newsome
No clue who Hawley is, don't really care to know.
It's insane to me that if you're from a certain area your vote is rendered useless. Really insane system the US has
You may not know the name. But you know this.
As well as this one. Where he ran for his life trying not to shit himself. And still got reelected.
no i dont know that either. im assuming that was during the coup?
Hah, damn you're lucky. And yes. Our national shame.
Yep, him and that shit stain governor Parson sending vaccines for covid to un populated towns in the boot heel first. While first responders and service industry people in KC and STL fell. If I was a particularly religious person, I would pray for hell to exist and for them to all end up there being pumped full of Ebola daily and left untreated. Ebola or something worse perhaps.
I don't understand why you guys haven't started shooting and revolting yet. Are you guys hoping that Trump and his like are just going to concede the next election loss?
The current waste of space in the govenor's mansion is much more low key, Kehoe. And Hawley I think is looking to make his exit. Locally people are circling the wagons against national republicans and their gestapo. Only time will tell.
