"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?
(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.
also downvoted for preferring democracy lol
Tankies should go to their best korea and shut up about how stalin, mao, polpot and the likes were really mis understood and really had some great ideas we should reimplement.
Why can't we just agree that both the US and DPRK are undemocratic?
🤦
The US is currently hybrid regime, DPRK is, and has been, a full totalitarian regime for the past few decades.
I'm tired of seeing these .ml arseholes, how can I block the whole instance??
infosec.pub
defederates
lemmy.ml
lemmygrad.ml
hexbear.net
Or just go to settings, but this method won't block you from seeing a .ml user commenting on, say .world, for example.
The very best thing I have ever heard about infosec.pub.
In your account settings I think. You can do so in your web client or app you use.
I haven't blocked ml of hexbear cause I find some of their content interesting. I always like to consider all sides.
Any country that says that they don't have any "homeless or beggars" is either lying, or killing people on the street.
Or living in a labour camp.
Ah that’s what they mean with “right to work”!
Hey they have “right to work” in Florida! They must be the most “Democratic” place in the world!
The part they don't like talking about is the police approach homeless people in China and give them the option to either do whatever job tbey are given or go to prison and dissapear.
You can criticize the US without making other authoritarian states look good. Both can be bad
Also US citizens are allowed to criticize the US.
Pretty sure North Korean citizens are also allowed to criticize the US so no fundamental difference here (/s if not obvious)
When they refer to South Korea as Occupied Korea, I almost can’t breathe from laughing.
WTF is alphabetization?
"Literacy" but bastardized back to English from the french word I think ("alphabétisation")
I'm guessing they mean literacy? Who knows.
Yeah sure, NK is a total utopia. Especially like the part where it says "Workers are the owner of the means of production" as if they didn't have one dictator that was in charge without anyone really having a choice.
