"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.

“If the capitalists are ok with something it must be bad”

Classic

Same reasoning that leads to people praising authoritarian regimes like China and Russia.

Pretty much the only other time I have seen any transphobia on Lemmy is from a .ml user who called someone a chaser for saying they were married to a femboy. These people don't actually care about LGBT issues - they are just trolls who use it as a cudgel when it is convenient.

That's pretty shitty but not surprising for tankies.

I've sadly ran into this kind of thing before.

I'll never forget the assholes I found on Reddit who tried to say that it's wrong to push for LGBT Rights especially outside of the US because it was "Pushing Western Values where they don't belong, like a colonizer!"

These people will come up with any excuse to be dickbutts.

LGBT Rights are based and cool, and anyone who unironically uses the term "Biological Male" is not arguing in good faith

why are all your comments downvoted?

[–] rain_worl@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

seems like all the comments are gone!
perhaps people misconstrued it as bourgeoisie being based for transphobia, not the trans itself?

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 0 points 9 months ago

wat? no, i mean all of your comments don't have upvotes
