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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from 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 permanently banned.
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.

You some kind of .ml tankie alt account? Jfc maybe hide it a bit better or something.
Kay, thanks for the feedback, I guess.
Consider this: I’m not an alt. I spent more time writing with your favorite mod here, than I did reading or writing stuff on .ml. Because he’s a dishonest red scare propagandist fishing for libs. Now process this: You’re in a reactionary, progagandist community with a slant for hate speech towards people you deem political opponents. Nice place to hang out in, really.
Your account is 2 months old and almost all your posts are on this sub also talking tankie bullshit.
You don't sound like cowbee so...one of the others.
As I offered cowbee, please move to russia or DPRK or china... I'll pay for the ticket.
How many months old does my account have to be, before you stop talking like a conspiracy theorist?
And why do you think “If you like them so much, why don’t you go live there?” is in any way some kind of clever stance? Don’t you like dissenting opinions? You want them gone?
It’s true, that quite a few comments are here, it’s because you’re all such a reasonable bunch of nice folks. I want to know what makes you tick — it’s a bleak picture, tho.
JFC. 12 hours later and you’re still replying to everyone here with long winded diatribes. Probably gotta be a bot account or something. I can’t imagine a real person, unless it was a paid job, having the sheer time and devotion to a country they don’t live in to sit here and argue with each and every person.
Here’s a long-winded diatribe just for you. I hope your attention span will manage.
Everyone … in this thread, in which you inserted yourself? Bohoo. After I was offline for a couple of hours, iiiimagiiine that!
All you managed until now is complain and showcase your self-proclaimed lack of imagination.
Figure this: You’ve got no devotion, imagination for other perspectives, because all you do is consume western viewpoints in the few hours of each day, in which you are free not to fight for your existence. But imagine that, there‘s a whole world out there, and there do exist diverging opinions. I know, it‘s hard when you‘re trapped in capitalist realism (there‘s a book on that, a suggestion).
And you use the time to hang out with fascists and wanna-be fascists, ranting about a perceived enemy, the authoritarian left. Dude, you’re off the deep end.
Btw, which country am I devoted to, please tell me! China? Because I don’t put up with goat’s bullshit? You might just be an idiot.
Considering you acted like you're not an alt, but only come to this sub and have a new account... basically doing only shit an alt would do. No conspiracy theories about it.
Authoritarian opinions are not worthy of being discussed. Just like I don't give two fucks what a Nazi says, I also give no fucks what authoritarians say.
Sure thing.
That’s an unworthwhile authoritarian opinion.
So you’re of the enlightened centrist kind of flavor, equating nazism or fascism with communism, believing in horse shoe theory, fearing anything too far off of status quo?
What’s your idea how fascism rises? What is your utopia? Why are you participating in a community based on gossip, propaganda and on hate towards an outgroup? Where is your engagement against right wing extremism? Or is it the left in particular and your commentary about nazis was merely lip service?
