"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"

Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse

What is a Tankie?

Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of bias)

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 or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.

Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.

If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

The first two want to consolidate power first. Typical capitalist move, get to the top, then pull the ladder up behind you.
The third guy has a sensible idea.
The 'ban Liberalism' guy probably can't define Liberalism.
The 'ban factory farms' guy has a good idea.
The 'ban cars' crowd I sorta agree with. Cars should only be used in rural areas, where public transit is not viable.
The anti-Israel guy, wants to ban countries from solidarizing with Israel. An inherently pro-war take.
Historical Revisionism, I had to look up who Adrian Zenz is, and Zenz is critical of the Uyghur genocide. So yeah, Historical Revisionism just means 'anything I don't like' to this commenter.

Edit: Changed 'urban' to 'rural' as pointed out by @goat.

The third guy has a sensible idea.

Yeah, though that's going to be insanely costly for the government. Best solution is offering a cheap, readily available public version and then the premium services.

The ‘ban factory farms’ guy has a good idea.

It is! But ironically, animals are and have always been treated the worst in communist states.

The ‘ban cars’ crowd I sorta agree with. Cars should only be used in urban areas, where public transit is not viable.

You mean rural?

Third thing will only work if your land is filled with natural resources. Tankies sure take that for granted or just completely ignorant and doesn't realize that communism is realistically only feasible only if your land has unlimited natural resources and slavery.
