"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.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Yeah, they're all tankies.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can understand resistance.

But rape isn't resistance.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Honestly the hamas rape issue is overblown. Like I’m not gonna justify it or deny the fact that it does happen, because it does and it’s a terrible thing. But the IDF is far far worse in this case, especially with how its never condemned.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is apologia and not allowed. You can't just say rape is overblown, what's wrong with you?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’m not an english native so idk if I used the phrase wrong but I meant it as in there is so much focus on one side doing it while the other side does it far more and is covered far less. I wasn’t trying to say rape is ok or anything, because it is most definitely not.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So you're unironically arguing "my dead kid is more dead than your dead kid?"

Not a good look. I'll let you off this time because of the language barrier, but don't make light or any of this stuff. Best edit your comment to remove the "rape issue is overblown"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

No that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying both sides do it, it’s just one side is covered more than the other making it seem like it does it far more, which is an unfair perspective. And yeah I might honestly just delete that comment since I don’t think I phrased it properly

The Oct 7th raid into Israel killed roughtly 400 soldiers and 800 civilians.

If you use Israel's logic, this 1:2 ratio officially makes Hamas the most moral army in the world.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Apologism is not allowed. Edit your comment.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What is apologism? What's the context here?

Gotcha thanks

You know what they always say, "why is my anti-communism space filled with fascists?"

If you ban me it will be an honor.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Actually, you've inspired me. I'll change the ban rules so it's only 24 hours and will double per infraction.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ah, an exponential back off strategy. I like it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Dissent is good and makes lively threads

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It is a good thing that individual users won't be around for more than a century or so or you might run into overflow issues with the ban time when you have to ban people repeatedly.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

thankfully lemmy is very small, not much moderation needed c:

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

yes, fascism is when @[email protected] gets banned from a lemmy community for 7 days after being warned. Let it be known that liberty died this day but only for a week

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's actually incredibly messed up even for Tankie standards

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

It's normal for them.

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

my dead kid is more dead than your dead kid!
