"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.

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.

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.

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.

Like, Jesus Christ, imagine typing that unironically, like some 1930s Blood-and-Soil nationalist discussing why The Fatherland will Overrun those Weak and Degenerate ~~liberals~~ Israelis.

There’s a reason they’ve lost tanks

TIL Israel never lost tanks in war until they got “soft”

And if you paint your tank red, it goes faster

Oh, shit, is that why the tankies love red so much?

It's so they can beat it out of the area when they face the consequences of their own actions, and then bitch about it in the place they went to.

"it was all the righties who corrupted the movement into killing the academics and dissidents and totally not our own rhetoric run amok"

"But also the academics and dissidents deserved it and it was based."
