"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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.

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 permanently banned.

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.

"My favorite part was where they targeted civilians! So based! Unlike those mean ol' Israelis, who do terrible things, like targeting civilians!"

That's actually incredibly messed up even for Tankie standards

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago

It's normal for them.

BWARK?! BWARK!!!

Got to credit them for at least being honest about their motives, rather than spending every day criticizing Israel while being unable to utter one critical sentence about their enemies.

The amount of terrorist simps on Lemmy and the left is seriously sickening.

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can understand resistance.

But rape isn't resistance.

Are Weedian and Happybadger actually leftwing though? That screenshot just shows two edgy adolescent jerks displaying rightwing sensibilities.

I can don the robes and hum loudly as I swish my plastic light saber about, but if I'm advocating for killing the women and children then I'm probably not a Jedi.

Chapo has always been Tankies, even when they were still on Reddit.

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I'm amazed they got booted from reddit. Suppose the antisemitism got too bad.

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, they're all tankies.
