"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.

We kinda need something like socialism instead of the broken capitalism but Stalin is the total(itarian) opposite

Unfortunately Tankies version of Socialism is Stalinism.

They seem to actually be fascists and capitalists who just try to create a fake image to actual alternatives to the failing global structure

Right? The fuck is this shit?

Capitalism helped the economy grow to a point where scarcity is no longer an issue. I agree that now we need to reign it in and work on our distribution systems, but idolizing Stalin? Whoa…

The problem is not capitalism. The problem is how some entities, whether abstract or fully identified, cheat capitalism for their own benefit. And that's not an exclusive problem to capitalism. Communism had (and has) that problem too. No system is free of cheaters.

I hope socialism will win, but without these motherfuckers or their ML "comrades". I do reject marxism-leninism and all of similar ideologies because they failed, and also because I don't want to be oppressed and then told to my face that it's better than being oppressed by CEOs.
