"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.

Too good not to share.

A user laments that apart from this post, a statement made by pacifists in the year 2020, nobody outside russia calls Ukraine a military dictatorship.

How could that be, I wonder.

Praising nazis. For... shuffles cards defending the country against an agressor?

You forgot the picture (I know of Utkin though, maybe don't do w h a t a b o u t i s m, especially when I never said I supported Russia, and this is the only person you're able to point to whereas in Ukraine Nazis are everywhere [1] [2] [3] [4] [5], you're being dishonest in order to shuffles cards discard criticism of the prevalence of Nazism in Ukraine)
If you need the support of Nazis for your struggle perhaps you need to reconsider what you're doing (if they're such a "small part" of the struggle as well, as people claim, then surely Zelensky doesn't need to resort to such sycophancy and can jail these people). Zelensky wears and advertises Nazi merchandise [1] [2]; does photoshoots with Nazis (that's Azov's Andriy Biletsky, who previously stated that his goal is to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade… against Semite-led Untermenschen” ); Ukraine is known for connections to the far right, to the extent that U.S. Congress removed a ban on funding Neo-Nazis in order to support Ukraine.

You can't just hand wave this away as "Zelensky is Jewish"; in fact, Right Sektor antisemite Dmitro Korchynsky said it's convenient that the president is Jewish, because it means that it is harder to accuse Ukraine of nazism. You're playing right into the hands of people who are actively harming and seeking to kill minorities] and who uphold Nazi collaborators as heroes. You are a horrible person.

Oh woe is me, horrible people exist, and they exist even in Ukraine. The shock. The horror. You pointing to five youtube videos (lol) that apparently show nazis has exactly zero value. Maybe get russia to stop invading Ukraine, then we can start talking about whether or not Ukraine has a nazi problem.
