"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.

Do you think the comment is racist?

My comment or the concept of racism as seen by sociology? Because those are different answer.

Edit: Here, you still think I made this shit up? Have another sociologist source that this is indeed what they claim.

https://openstax.org/books/introduction-sociology-3e/pages/11-3-prejudice-discrimination-and-racism

Prejudice refers to the beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and attitudes someone holds about a group.

Racism is a stronger type of prejudice and discrimination used to justify inequalities against individuals by maintaining that one racial category is somehow superior or inferior to others; it is a set of practices used by a racial dominant group to maximize advantages for itself by disadvantaging racial minority groups.

Like it or not this is what they teach. And no, it's not racist for me to tell you that they teach this in schools. Ffs.

uh-huh

now give me the standard definition of racism

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 month ago

Yup I tried that one, they said

"No you have to look up the sociological definition."

"Why?"

"Because."

They don't teach the regular one in schools, they teach the sociological one, and you get in trouble for questioning it (if you're me, anyway.)
