It always amazes me how much people on the internet think the world revolves around them. "A niche server of a niche social media network? It's obviously them directly trying to thwart me!"
Extremists are always mentally ill
Yeaaaah it went great for Aaron at Reddit, it's not like the USA government has a history of doing stuff like that or anything laughs in European
The fuck?
Tankies
Ominous.
Extremism is one hell of a drug.
Not even ordinary extremism it's authoritarian extremism! Aka when you can't wait for a dictator to come so you don't have to tolerate other opinions (not unlike conservatives!)
niche group of people exist, vibing and minding their own business
Them: but how can I make this about me?
I've seen communists/antifascists/anticapitalists get banned in the grad modlog with the reason fascist or capitalist.
It's pretty clear that grad is a psyop at least in part. Probably to poison the well and show leftism as a qanonist newspeak tribe.
Nah, it's not a psyop, it's very much real.
Some of the users are real who've just drank the kool aid. There could very well be different governmental alphabet agencies feeding them propaganda to share
"idealology"
Hmm. ๐ค
Tankies when you can buy the Communist Manifesto on Amazon with same day shipping: westerners are very brainwashed
Fuck tankies but also fuck Amazon
Indeed, it's just that the contrast is amusing. In "communist" countries mass censorship of media is the norm, yet tankies believe themselves to be enlightened. The fact that the paragon of capitalist evil will deliver anti-capitalist literature right to your doorstep is just such a massive dunk I like to point it out at every opportunity.
lmao
Its the same with all alt community's left or right everything they don't like is some kind of cia psyop against them clearly they know everything and when people see the clear evidence they will see the light
from my experience, all extremists are the same
Is this true that devs of lemmy are tankies from lemmygrad?
Unfortunately. They no longer participate on the instance because they realised it's bad for business (absolute irony)

Welcome to MoG!

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. โ Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech โ You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia โ (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 โ 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 โ 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 โ 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.
