"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.

I mean he's right. If human society lasts forever and achieves a post-scarcity state, some form of socialism will likely be the prevailing political ideology.

But murdering and torturing any workers who disagree with your praxis will never be a viable way to liberate workers. This really isn't complicated unless you are very stupid.

Oh, definitely socialism is the way to go.

However Tankie's version of socialism is just fascism in red paint, the red being blood, of course.

I guess they're Socialists on the streets, but Genocidal Leninist's in the sheets?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

mm, no, also genocidal in the streets

ah crap, at least most tankies online are about as combat ready as the maga nuts. Will they all have their own weapons, or will they have to take turns like the Russians in WWI?

"socialism will win" says the person supporting the State Capitalism of China and various other self-proclaimed "Communist" countries.
