"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 it 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.
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 arguments that lack mutual agreement.
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 banned.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

That Cowbee fella is considered lie a saint over there
He is. It's funny how they circlejerk themselves about how much of a debatelord he is.
Thing is that anyone who actually challenges him is immediately and swiftly banned and their comments removed entirely. Convenient.
And he just info-dumps them and forces his argument without even considering the opposing ideal because he is right and you are wrong. Not only wrong, but ideologically different. He is ultra left and everyone else is to the “right”. Russia is right wing yet he seems to never disparage them.
His method of debate is gish-gallop, where he just spams a bunch of blatantly biased sources and expects you to go through every single one of them. If you do challenge, he'll report you to the tankie mods or admins, and they'll immediately ban you and remove your comments.
I've challenged him a few times and every single time, he's needed a mod to bail him out.
Tankies can't argue. It's because their beliefs aren't based in reality; they have to rely on conspiracy and whataboutism.
"That is CIA propaganda!!!1!!" They would say if they were here right now.
Sadly I tried and failed to debate him, I didn’t have enough intrinsic knowledge to combat him. But I knew in my heart I was right 😂
