"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. โ Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech โ You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia โ (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 โ 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 โ 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.
And for the record, there was nothing even remotely racist in my comment. Dessalines just can't accept being wrong. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
UPDATE : I am (almost) sad to report the ban only extends to [email protected] !
Also, I found the original comment, here it is (and if you see what's racist about it, please tell me, I'm open to being wrong about this, although I really doubt it) :
( Update 2 : cropped the second image properly )
...y'all haven't blocked ml yet? The fuck are you waiting for?
The point is to keep track of .ml's moderation abuses and collect evidence of their wrongdoing to encourage others to avoid or (wishful thinking but you never know) defederate from .ml. Blocking .ml just lets them continue their garbage unopposed and hidden from public scrutiny.
They honestly believe the Pooh thing is racism because Pooh is yellow and yellow= Chinese racism.
It's beyond them that their chief bootwearer looks exactly like a certain cartoon bear
He's more orange than Pooh. Given that logic, is calling Trump "cheeto in chief" racist?
Only to the Cheetos, which are canonically cartoon cheetah orange.
@[email protected] It's pretty embarassing that you're supposedly one of the lead lemmy devs yet don't understand that the modlog is public and we can see you're full of shit when you claim a comment like this is racist. Maybe if you spent more time actually developing and less time being red fascist you'd know how your own system works.
This community is blocked on .ml (can't let people realize Dessalines is full of shit!) I'm not sure if Dessalines will be able to see this.
And I have dessalines blocked so even if he saw this and replied I wouldn't know anyways.
I posted this comment purely for whatever scraps of catharsis it may generate.
I saw that thread yesterday and decided it was not even worth entering the cesspool. I figured any criticism of China would be dismissed as either motivated or based on western propaganda.
Thanks for trying it in my place ter_maxima
just made a piefed account, ee ended today.
Lol if you manage to get a full site ban (shouldn't be too hard lmao) you'll unlock this achievement!
Being a ml honestly takes so much mental gymnastics...from skipping both marx and lenins works entirely, touting stalin as a legitimate theorist, to simping for nationalist movements, doing racial pseudo science plus the intellectual leg work for large imperialist nations...it seems like a lot of work to me....and all to come across as a whiney sort of racist spoiled psuedo intellecual brat to the actual working class. Dont get me started on maoists who legitimately think that white people cant be proletarian. These two types of leftist specifically will do anything but try to understand what communism is.
Lenis was kind of the source of the problem in many ways though.
They're not leftist though
They are just incredibility radicalized
congrats on your ban!
And the post you got banned for isn't racist at all, unlike what the person who replied to you insinuated.
Dessalines seems to think the Winnie the Pooh likening is because Pooh is yellow and not because he is fat and round. Which, in a way, makes him the racist one.
The "Asian yellow skin" thing never made any sense to me. I've seen a ton of Asians, none of them were yellow, not even close. Xi Jinping has the same complexion as a white guy with a tan.
I think it was substantially influenced by the traditional four humours. Carl Linnaeus' work was not the first to call East Asians "yellow", but it was very widely spread and influential. He categorised humans into four races and associated each with one of the humours, then describing that race as having the characteristics associated with the humour (hence the equally-odd "red" description for Native Americans)
"Don't forget to give us money thou!"
Mentioning both Taiwan and Tiananmen in one post?
Straight to jail.

Thank you for compensating for my own laziness x)
Clearly this is all Western propaganda. Solely because it disagrees with Chinese propaganda /s
stayed until the last hour on lemm.ee
Went down with the ship, I did
