"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.

Yogthos is a moron he literally posts Chinese propaganda if you ask about Tiananmen Square it's my favorite on the Internet. If you get him to do it check out the link he provides all sources say the exact opposite it's so funny they literally think they can just claim sources and people won't check
Yup, did that once then generally ignored them.
I got tired of him saying how great a country was at year X, while ignoring what happened at year Y that made the country collapse at year Z.
Maybe not a moron, but sad. I dunno why he acts like some rethorical genius when he just evades all points people make him and instead makes up his own strawmen to argue against.
He's paid definitely I'm 100% sure he is slinging propaganda intentionally
You have no idea how stupid a person can be.
I'm guessing they're neudivergent and incredibly misinformed, so they put all of their efforts defending a completely wrong ideology they somehow got stuck on.
If they live in burgerland, they probably do. A full third want to dismantle democracy.
That's catchy, we should appropriate that.
I wouldn't say he's a moron. He is filthy rich though, his extremely wealthy family fled from Russia to Canada, and naturally it's landed him a pretty cushy job where he doesn't need to do anything. He posts 25-50 times daily, every day, for five years and that's just on Lemmy. He posts on other sites too.
He is the bourgeoisie, and that must drive him mad. Probably explains his oddities
It's a shame Tankies don't have any values they stand upon, oh well, they are all harmless afterall.
LOL that's wild, it explains so much of his nonsense though, thanks for the context!
how do you know this lol
He told me
And you believed him? With all the nonsense they spout, I'd assume a bit of exaggeration...
People don't tend to exaggerate something pathetic unless they want sympathy
Well he is a moron and I don't really care what he said. I'm the richest man in the world
Have you met this guy?
He's talked about it in detail in one of his posts.
You don't have a link to it by chance? Would be interesting to read
They make 50 comments a day and have like 17,000 comments in total. It'd take ages to find it
Ah
So he is pretty much a Russian Oligarch. Actually that checks out.
