"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


What is a Tankie?


Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of bias)


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 or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.

Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.

If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

It's always hard to tell if people are trolling or if they're really just that stupid.

Yes (inclusive or)

Almost always children: so a blend of both.

Manchildren, yeah. I've seen what they look like. They all have neckbeards, skinny, lanky or fat.

It seems like he just doesn't like fiction novels. Either that or he possibly has never read any books period.

He talks like the kind of person who considers themselves to be a philosophy expert because they watched all of the Matrix films.

So a tankie. They rarely talk about fictional works.

I mean, "Andromeda" by Yefremov may be an exception (the one really confirming the existence of a rule\custom, though, in accordance with that Roman legal principle).

Still, holy sh*t, a person who hasn't read anything by Asimov.

And I kinda had an impression commies would love him. Some of those I've met did.

Calling Wiesel a surface level critique of a bad thing is so yikes
