"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/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously 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. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
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.
And again you show that you have no fucking clue what capitalism is.
We covered this already, here let me just quote myself from yesterday;
Now, another commenter pointed out that the system in place in the lead up to the formation of the Dutch East Indies Company was actually mercantilism. Which was sort of a State run proto-capitalism.
It's kind of a gray area.
Which is why you still have no clue what anything you advocate for actually means.
You're just parroting words you heard from some right-wing dipshit somewhere.
They won't ever tell you what any of the words actually mean, just their own twisted interpretations thereof. They say communism is bad, and then point to an authoritarian dictatorship led by a man who was so insecure in his power that he forced all of his top generals to binge-drink with him every single night for the last 15 years of his life. And after everyone was drunk and smeared with tomato (a bit of drunken humor that Stalin loved) then they would watch American movies that he had smuggled into the country.
It's just sad that if people like you finally opened a book or used a web browser to look at anything other than more stupid right-wing bullshit, you'd be horrified at what you've been supporting.
I've brought up the Nazis a lot in these comments, because they too rose to power in the same sort of environment that spawned the Bolsheviks.
And it's the environment that created people like Nestor Makhno. The dude was based as fuck. He invented the Tachanka, a machine gun in the back of a cart, these days it's referred to as a technical and is usually a machine gun mounted to the back of a Nissan pickup.
See, these are the sorts of little tidbits of fun history that you should be learning. Instead, you seem to just be spoon-fed more right-wing talking points.
