"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.

Y'all aren't really proving her wrong. I'm all for mocking people who think that countries that claim to be Marxist are all paradise, but this just ain't it

The irony of a .ml user calling .world a "Nazi bar" is palpable.

@[email protected] hi nazi bar. edit: i think I've blocked him already

I think they just wrongly attributed it to you. It's a comment by PhilipTheBucket in the thread

I was saying that the quote describes cm0002's behavior, not attributing it to cm0002

also true to form, there was a local user there telling me that I and other russians are roaches, I assume to be exterminated. bullshit like that or calling me a chimp or misgendering is stuff that you all seem fine to tolerate when it's going in the right direction.

i haven’t seen a single person defending or encouraging behavior such as that, and i really don’t appreciate you painting your perceived enemies as bigots.

I'm being misgendered in one of the comments in this very thread, in the thread that this is referencing someone's saying exactly that to me, calling me and anyone vaguely associated a roach that's "chimping out" - context for my comment

And for the record fuck putin, russia is a capitalist shithole and I'm opposed to ALL war between capitalist states and don't see either side as 'good'. Jingoism and bravado just gets people killed needlessly.

report the comments and don’t engage.

i’m sorry it’s happening, it’s something i wouldn’t wish on anyone, but just pointing at it doesn’t validate any arguments.

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

I usually do, the person misgendering me in this thread moderates several comms on blahaj, so I'm calling it out

Yea, Phillip told me, but that just makes it funnier, because I was never in that thread until then, so that means I'm living in their head rent free lolol

Regardless, diva has actually called me a Nazi so it was absolutely believable to me they'd make up some shit lol

I'm an anarchist, obviously I'm not going to charge rent
