"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.
Bonus round:
Thank the gods we have these brave, pure, online leftists to stand up against fascism, for the sake of the lives of the oppressed.
That reply to it is actually fucking insane. These people never cared about us arabs, they just want their side to win. Actual fascists, not even in red anymore.
The "If Israel is going to genocide Palestinians..." quote is sarcasm/mockery of people who supported fascism in the US because of the ongoing genocide in Palestine, and the commenter's response was to unironically endorse it.
Jesus christ, what the fuck
thanks for the context btw
50 years from now, considering that the USA elections changed nothing for Palestine either way (or maybe even made things worse for them under Trump now), the history books won't be talking about these 'brave' heroes that sat out the vote for the sake of Palestine. They'll be talking about all of the apathetic, zero empathy, selfish children who were happy to sit back and watch LGBTQ+ people and other minorities get their rights and dignity stripped from them because it didn't affect them personally.
I would surmise that just about every turning point in history had a majority of people with no strong philosophical or moral convictions, only caring about themselves, their families, and their continued comfort and immediate safety. And I also find that history does not cast a whole lot of blame on them.
How often does dialogue about the Third Reich talk about the German farmers and bakers and factory workers who saw their neighbors and colleagues disappear, and the only reaction they could muster is shrug. "What can you do?" "They probably deserved it."
I actually barely even have the words.
Past suffering is no excuse to celebrate present and future suffering. I don't care how frustrating it is that middle-class Americans have lived in the lap of relative luxury at the loss of foreign life. Slaughtering the benefactors of injustice is not justice. It doesn't even stop the injustice from continuing. To wish for the death of millions of ignorant innocents in defense of refusing to act to stop the worst of the knowledgeable offenders is inexcusable.
I once made this point about how because white people were historically bigoted towards black people doesn't mean we now have to do the same but in reverse, and i got downvoted to hell for it.
What does "the same but in reverse" mean? Are you talking to people that say we should be redlining white families or manufacturing laws and "wars on drugs" to disproportionately incarcerate white people?
You'd be amazed what new and creatively horrible opinions people come up with every day
How dare they pick on FlyingSquid... They're one of us now...
for now (I will call them a yank later, they're already bloody complaining about our plug sockets)
"they're already bloody complaining about our plug sockets)"
I am viscerally offended by this; admiring the features of UK plugs is the closest I get to feeling patriotic.
@[email protected] is called to the dock.
They have switches on them!
That's pretty based... Right? 🔪
They are indeed at the base of the room.
Fr tho, the UK outlet is the worst of all of them.

Objectively wrong
Null Sum Game thinking. If one loses, another must win, and vice versa.
Or in other words: the mentality of a child.

those people are dangerous - even if they themselves don't hurt people directly, they might inspire someone to do some crazy nasty shit. they are not one inch better than the israeli fascist leaders.
Welfare fascists like to act tough on the internet. The real spook is if one of those morons tried to actually act out their insane beliefs. Imagine if one of them actually commits a shooting because of their belief that people are responsible for their governments actions?
If this is the person I'm thinking, I find it very amusing. They're obviously trolling but they also seem to be the only one getting angry.
The fact that the other side is even worse doesn't make your side less guilty of genocide
I mean, if we're comparing the one side to the other, it literally does. Like, someone who is committing less genocide is less guilty of genocide than someone who's committing more genocide
Not that I think I could convince this psychopath of that while they're salivating over the idea of American gays getting executed
It’s a sad state of affairs when you’re quibbling over whether your genocide is smaller. Hey, here’s a random thought I wanna toss your way, if you don’t mind?
Maybe don’t do genocide at all? Like, ever? Even a little?
I feel like you would be a little more righteous in your argument if you just, you know, stopped the genocide.
Obviously. None of that contradicts what I said, nor does it make cumming over the idea of LGBT americans getting murdered defensible
They're on their 60th + account and this is one of their less insane (for them) comment.
And that's a low estimate of both the number of banned accounts and of their insanity.
Antiyanks I assume? They're got to have over a hundred by now.
Yup, the usual
you got any examples of the crazier shit? You know, for entertainment purposes? I need a good hit of that rage adrenaline.
They're not even wrong to oppose genocide, they just can't string 5 words without telling people to kill themselves or something.
oh not implying they are wrong about opposing it. Just this is the exact wrong way to do so.
Even worst
innocents people
If you’re going to wish death on me at least fix your fucking grammar first
I didn't get a call. They would've gotten a stern warning from me.
What planet do these people live on? This is what happens when you refuse to admit you could ever be wrong.
Leftists would be disgusted by that person, but still support them getting treatment
