"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.

@PugJesus 84% of the world population are tankies
84% is a very specific number, do you have a source for that?
Wow, you guys should be running everything then, right?
@PugJesus Also Mexico should form a union with Canada and United States, AMLO being elevated to the role of God-Emperor.
I have no objection to that, other than that he'd need to take a stronger stand against the drug cartels.
@PugJesus The Mexican state itself needs more power and less subversion from US intelligence agencies + LEO + small arms manufacturers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATF_gunwalking_scandal
The myth that fentanyl production comes from Chinese state and Mexican state collusion with criminals masks the origins of the opiate epidemic with western colonization of china. And the fentanyl trade being used to replace destroyed poppy fields after Chinese + golden triangle crackdowns, Taliban crackdowns, especially with the...
@PugJesus massive demand coming from a US population overprescribed pills.
i would compare it to complaining colombia is weaponizing cocaine against US stock traders. it's asinine
I haven't said anything about anyone weaponizing drugs. All I said is AMLO would need to take a stronger stance against drug cartels. I don't know why that's your cue to bring up the 19th century Opium Wars.
Jesus Christ.
@PugJesus Go read about FDR's family dumbass. the fentanyl shipping story makes no fucking sense. an industrial sized fentanyl lab fits in a TRAILER. BUDDY, SHIPPING IT ACROSS THE PACIFIC MAKES N O S E N S E LMAO they are just STEALING IT from Mexico's hospitals, and the shipments there come from China. Maybe the US should stop flooding the country with weapons?! Go look at https://farside.link/old.reddit.com/r/cartelfootage if I got the URL right
Lord. Not sure you understand the implications of globalization. Which isn't surprising considering that tankies use that as a boogeyman almost as often as neonazis.
@PugJesus Are you implying 16% of the world population should have hegemony over the rest? Well, since WWII we've seen the results of them attempting that. The world majority must govern the world in order to halt the overextraction+pollution which has resulted from Wall st placing entire nations in the role of debt slaves like Haiti. Even Europe is getting the stick since 2022, and they only just paid of Arsenal of Democracy debts. Face it, the world majority must govern the world.
You must have a lot of strong opinions about the Belt and Road initiative since "debt slavery" is so important to you.
Also, how do you feel about 996 working hours?
Yeah, that's about the reading comprehension I expected from a tankie.
@PugJesus If you're too daft to understand the implications of the things you're saying, that's no skin off my back.
You can make up implications all you want to cover for your lack of literacy, man. Unless this is all just bad faith, which, considering the usual activities of tankies, wouldn't surprise me.
