"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.

"Critical support for fascists!" - tankies unironically

Of course, to tankies, "Critical support" means "I realize this looks bad but I still want to bootlick for it"

I've seen them crow about how they don't suffer from "Trump derangement syndrome" while posting the same anti-Biden stuff as christofash. It's wild how much they support fascism and think they're somehow immune to the label because they're communists.

No bad tactics, only bad targets. Aka it's okay when we do it.

It's such a black-and-white take.

"Communism is good. US is capitalist, so anti-communist, and NATO is basically led by the US, so it's bad. Russia is anti-Nato, so anything they do must be good, including performing war crimes in Ukraine"

So gross

I can work with that. Someone actually recognizes the nationalism in United Russia and knows something about their ideology.
