"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?
(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.
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
you’re doing incredible work over there, really shining a light on the silliness of it all 😅 keep it up
It is indistinguishable from satire. The screenshot comment could be satire and the mod unable to distinguish it.
Kind of like when you call Hitler a form of socialist and get banned for "complimenting hitler"
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.
That is pretty accurate. There are a lot of key words that simply cannot be used in political discourse, leaving it almost impossible for advocate for policies that benefits the marginalized. It is a very effective method, as is so often demonstrated.
Just like "great man theory", i.e. any criticism of Dear Leader Xi.
Me [facts are making me sad]: the word "bad" is literal Nazi genocide, please switch to "plusungood."
Hey, this was in response to me lmao
blocked for doing literal genocide denial 😔😔😔
lol. That guy is going to pull a muscle reaching like that.
without even warming up first! very dangerous
I mean technically speaking, "solar mass" is connected to flat earth theory, so please avoid using it.
basically :/
"our toothbrush" username
Unironically this fragile about communism
I don't understand
