"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.

You would call the polish uprising in ww2 as bad as Hamas if it happened today

Did they use polish children as meat shields? Did they rape woman and dragged them through the streets?

  1. Use of 'meat shields' is propaganda, Israel says that Hamas is using civilian infrastructure to store weapons and Israel labels that as using meat shields, they continue to bomb civilian infrastructure anyway
  2. This is exaggerated but has happened unfortunately, but not under Hamas command, Israel capitalised on this tragedy by using it as propaganda to fuel anti-palestinian efforts, including false reports, not allowing independent journalism and even the example you gave, which was also false and was actually a phone taken in Syria of Kurdish Fighters

I don't know if you'll approach this in good will, but it is fully to the benefit for Israel for these to be true, and they have capitalised heavy upon it

Hamas and PLO is the only two forces in Gaza that can even push back on the genocide, and idealism that you could continue opposition just by removing Hamas is wrong, as Israel inherently wants to integrate Palestinian lands thoroughly, not solve the issues present, and will demonize any new Palestinian entity if it ever comes into existence
