"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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.

Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting or manipulating the post in any way, this includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be permanently banned.

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.

Out of curiosity, I just checked that cesspool that calls itself a Lemmy server after 1000 years of not giving a fuck (I mean, I likely checked it seldomly lately as well, but not as thoroughly as going through multiple pages and posts). Here's what I found:

  • Typical commie propaganda (I'm not going to go into details)
  • So much US-centrism. Of course, there was some user from Poland (some will know who am I talking about) that admitted somewhere that in Poland there are multiple parties, but, just like for any serious tankie, those parties cannot be anything else than fascist. So no other party than the all mighty "single pluralistic" Communist Party (whatever that shit even means) like there somehow is in China is good. All of them are fascist.
  • Being from the US, you'd think they treat the current situation in their country in a mature way, pointing out the actual fascist from the White House - while this happens in, like, a bunch of their posts, mostly, if you think this way, you're DEAD WRONG. They spend most of their energy pointing out how bLuE aNd ReD aRe ThE sAmE and how oBaMa aLsO dId X sHiT tHaT tRuMp DiD aNd YoU tHe LiBs WeRe OkAy WiTh ThAt (oh, and not to mention the meme about how the No Kings protests are actually a CIA psyop or some shit. Yeah, if you go out and protest for a cause is not because you're fed up with all that shit you see in your daily life, it's because the intelligence told you so).
  • When they actually do speak about what's going on, they point out how imperialistic the US of A is and always was. Somehow, China and Russia were never imperialistic. But USA is the alpha and omega of imperialism (okay, they probably also bring up the former imperialistic powers of UK and/or France in other threads, but I didn't check them, and it's late here - let's just assume there is something about this as tankie propaganda also likes to bring this up). Yeah, what happens now with the US is borderline imperialism (threatening Canada and Greenland and Panama with invasion). But stretching it so far and thin like they do is just crazy.
  • They laugh at you when you bring them sources to support your claim - reputable sources. But all they bring to support their own claims are recycling memes that they thought they're funny a few days ago - and somehow Dessalines points you to his blog/website/whatever - not even trying to bring up their own propaganda mouthpieces into discussion. Yeah, bro, I'll trust you (I'll probably even make a meme about it these days if I care enough about it).
  • Their entire meme community is tankie propaganda. I tried being sympathetic to them and tried to view the memes from their own perspective, but I couldn't bring more than a smug on my face. Oh well, maybe these crack them up. Good for them, I guess.

In conclusion: it's fucking late. I spent some precious time doing nothing and learning nothing from their bullshit (and also typing this entire thing). I would like Dessalines to point me out on his website thingy how can I get my wasted time back. Thank you.

The other fucking wild thing is that, now that people are in the streets and time is actually ripe for some sort of genuine political upheaval in the United States, 90% of their political agitation energy is spent... being angry within the bounds of the accepted "blue" / "red" dichotomy.

Careful boys we got some deep thinkers on our hands lol

The dems and their Israeli friends killed my friend in beytuth. They used white phosphorus

Fuck you

I am sorry for what happened but I hope you're well aware that Trump only solved this conflict by threatening to join Israel in the killings. Not sure if that aligns with you.

I hope no more violence will occur in the region for the foreseable future.

Take care!

I love how when communist countries retake imperial lands from other countries it's legit not imperialism be cause those countries are always US puppet states
