"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.

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.

Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

I mean technically speaking, "solar mass" is connected to flat earth theory, so please avoid using it.

Someone got their comment mocking this person deleted.

They said, “do you even know what words mean?”

.ml mod/admin in their ban reply: “reason: Yes, I studied the history of holocaust apologetics”

My eyes may get stuck, they’re rolling so hard. What would they say if I correctly characterized the third reich as authoritarian? Does that somehow make me a Holocaust denier? The logical inconsistency is making my brain hurt, somebody help please

Kind of like when you call Hitler a form of socialist and get banned for "complimenting hitler"

There’s about the same amount of socialism in national socialism as there is democratic republicanism directly north of the Republic of Korea.

Beware those who claim to have your best interest at heart

It is indistinguishable from satire. The screenshot comment could be satire and the mod unable to distinguish it.

you’re doing incredible work over there, really shining a light on the silliness of it all 😅 keep it up

It's awfully convenient that anything that could possibly lead to criticism of red fash is unacceptable to them.

Me [facts are making me sad]: the word "bad" is literal Nazi genocide, please switch to "plusungood."

Disempower the language of an oppressed group, and you disempower the group.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago

That is pretty accurate. There are a lot of key words that simply cannot be used in political discourse, leaving it almost impossible for advocate for policies that benefits the marginalized. It is a very effective method, as is so often demonstrated.

Just like "great man theory", i.e. any criticism of Dear Leader Xi.

Hey, this was in response to me lmao

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago

[–] NOT_RICK 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)
