"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. β€” Basically, don't be a dick.

Hate-Speech β€” You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia β€” (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 β€” 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 β€” 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.

What’s up with crackers and their fixation on sucking something?

Least racist and homophobic tankie.

Yeah they were all calling me a cracker haha. And apparently I’m a homophobe which comes as a massive shock considering the fact that I’m pansexual.

It is curious that they let their 'comrade' imply sexuality is connected to race without censure, but lambast you for a common-used term meaning 'to serve someone else with excessive devotion'.

I like how OPs response to your comment was nothing but sarcasm. You didn't insult, you didn't belittle. Just a very straight up explanation arguing your point that Russia made their own bed and now have to sleep in it.

I suppose that was too much reason for them to handle.

They claim orgs from 33 countries have signed up. Would be interesting to see which ones. If even true.

I should make a cname in my dns server

Its not an ad hominem if it accurately labels you.

It is, though. The fallacy is an insult in lieu of an argument. Nailing the insult doesn't count. You still forgot to have a point.

By endorsing the list of demands, you can add your voice to the growing coalition that advocates for:
The immediate halting of arms shipments to Ukraine.
An end to the sanctions on Russia, as well as the cessation of the Russophobic campaign.
The invalidation of the statement condemning Russia as a terrorist state.
An armistice between the belligerent forces, allowing for peaceful negotiations.
The establishment of a truly neutral and democratic Ukraine.
The cessation of the arms race and the dissolution of NATO.

Aha, the tried and tested policy of Appeasement that worked so well at achieving peace in our time for Chamberlain!

Tankie moments: when your Soviet ultra-nationalism is 3 decades late so you simp for an anti-labor capitalist oligarchy instead.

The cessation of the arms race and the dissolution of NATO

Da, fellow countrymen, we must cease this pitiful defending against aggression pact. Is very rude.

But in all seriousness, does it hurt to be that gullible?

So, the organizers email is listen on their page as

contact[at]internationalpeaceconference.info

I guess that's: [email protected]

Would be a shame if their email was signed up on a bunch of shady porn sites.

Their website also looks like it was made in 2005...
