"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.

The very notion that transphobia has to be a tool of
the bourgeoise( explicit othering a group to blame for the problems of another group … where have we seen this before?) is so ludicrously dumb.Transphobia exists because human nature is to other the thing you don’t understand, human intelligence is rooted in trying to learn about the thing you don’t understand. Transphobes and most conservatives are too afraid to go from fear to understanding. It’s why their views become stronger and more extreme against their opponents views who change with knowledge.
This doesn’t have to do anything with class, it can have parallels and be exacerbated by class struggles but Jeb Goatfucker doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor if you are trans then he wants you dead.
the idea that trans is bourgeoise is because pharmaceutical companies directly benefit
sounds like quite the conspiracy theory though
So the flu is bourgeoisie because pharma makes vaccines I guess
Yeah, dude! You should see their covid takes.
Othering is othering is othering
