"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.

Band of horny douche. I don't care if they pretend to be lefty, it's just a bunch of pervert.

You sound like mein deutsch lehrer. But like I told him, "hey, if stuff like Cardi B's WAP is fine, they're fine too."

(Cardi B wasn't out, but I can't remember what song I used as a reference 20yr ago, so...)

Absolutely no clue what you're saying. But ramstein sucks .

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

reminds me, couple days ago a guy came to me and my friend, and said he was the drummer for rammstein, told us a whole story about the tour bus (???) and then suddenly left. Very scare.

How do you make songs like radio?

Other than the sex crimes part, this whole screenshot reads as pretty sarcastic to me. Aren't hexbear and chapo extremely leftist? Never seen them do anything but call for punching nazis or worse

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I can't tell what those guys stand for. I tried for a while and all I could come up with is that they're internet trolls who will pick a fight with anyone they can. I gave up

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

The community is based on fandom of chapotraphouse which champions trolling liberal sensibilities.

Also IIRC Hexbear doesn't have (viewable?) downvotes and so they encourage voicing disagreements which looks and feels like dogpiling to outsiders who are used to quiet and faceless downvotes.

They are little snowflakes who think it’s cool to pretend they are commies. None of them actually live in any communist countries which is why it’s confusing when one stumbles upon such a creature in the wild.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Yes. The post is sarcastic.

However, their racist comment about germans being prone to rape is worth adding to this community. if OP doesn't change the title, I'll reupload this with a more fitting one

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I suppose Hexbear might turn on the Nazis after they complete the collab against their shared enemy (classic liberals).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yes, they're Tankies, not Nazis. Not sure what OP is about. Seems they missed the sarcasm and / or try to push an agenda.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I thought the whole sex crime thing was unsubstantiated

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Yes and no. Iirc there definitely was some dubious sex thing but it was probably not illegal.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago

Please edit your title to highlight the racism in their title about Germans being prone to sex crime.

The post is sarcastic, where they were expecting Rammstein to be chuds

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What?

Also, Ramstein is actively going after the people that claimed that stuff and lost in court...

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As they should, allegations like that stick unless you can actively prove them to be false.

Sie wollen mein Herz am rechten Fleck doch

The entire "Deutschlandlied" and especially the music video is super anti right.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Links 234 was also pretty explicit, and is much older. I think that's where the lyrics you are replying to come from, actually

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

What's wrong with Radio lmao

Seems pretty liberal to me

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Seems pretty liberal to me

Seems like you are in agreement with their comment about that then. They aren't suggesting the claim to be liberal but aren't actually... They were providing further evidence of using that insult against them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That’s what they’re complaining about.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 59 minutes ago

Ohhh OP likes government censorship, got it
