"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.

Please do. You added a single word and no constructive or meaningful discussion.

Well I'll add some more words if you need them. Really more words are more ballast to me. Israel for all its faults has not really been anti-semitic in its history and has been very progressive regarding lgbt rights even when compared to western europe or scandinavia

Do more words make it easier for you to understand the sentiment or that it is a meaningful answer to the post I replied to?

Israel hasn't been more progressive compared to Europe.

Less progressive than the most progressive European countries, but more progressive than the least progressive European countries. All in all a close second ;)

You could be less of an ass about it but you're correct. With the additional context I can understand the point you're making it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fair enough, sorry for acting like an ass before

Happens to all of us. I'm kinda curious how unique Israel is in terms of gay and trans policy.

For example if another very new country we're created would they also follow in Israel's steps?

You mean like South-Sudan?
