"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, 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.

but neo-nazis are in support of Russia because they think Ukraine is owned by jews lol

[–] petrescatraian@libranet.de 2 points 1 hour ago

There's nothing nazi in calling out the nazi jews of Ukraine. Have you seen their president? He's a jew and he's fighting matyushka Rossiia, that's pretty nazi of him /s

Just because neo-Nazi might accidentally be on the right side or something doesn't make it wrong. But leave it to Desalines to continue to be wrong.

You can lead a tanky to knowledge, but you cannot make them think.

Tankies are bad faith actors. They know what they are doing and they are doing it on purpose. The goal is waste peopels time IMHO

They don't shill anything beyond idiotic talking points that are copy pasted

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 14 hours ago

i’ve been blocking them and hex bare for a while now

[–] drspawndisaster@sh.itjust.works 6 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

A lot of the nazis I've seen support Russia for... some fucking reason.

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 hours ago

It's because they think Ukraine is owned by the jews

they also find Russia "based" because of how xenophobic it is.

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 9 points 12 hours ago

I guess they can't help but admire the ruthlessness and cruelty that russian government displays towards every kind of minority that had a misfortune of being conquered into an empire

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 1 points 7 hours ago

Well they were best friends in the beginning. So it makes sense.

[–] petrescatraian@libranet.de 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Tankies like to call nazi pretty much anyone who they do not like. Pretty much how "woke" is used by the actual nazis, which, in turn, use this tankie rhetoric as a wild card to show us how they are not actually that dangerous as they seem to be. I'm pretty sure someone saw not just once, something the likes of "oh, now whenever there's something you don't like that's nazi, right?"

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

but don't you dare call them tankies!

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It was my understanding that the socialist republics that made the soviet union were all sovereign. Guess they were Russian puppets after all.

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 2 points 10 hours ago

oh yeah, sovereign alright... as long as russia had the final say

Try calling out Jewish billionaires for their support of the genocide state.

Report back the parma ban 🤣
