"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.

While I don't feel like a beacon of enlightenment myself, knowing that I have a certain inertia, with a set of blind spots and impulses - which sometimes I don't even know what or where they are - I strive to become a more aware and empathetic individual, stumbling and failing often.

So many people sound so far gone up any myriad of disinformation holes that it makes me shudder that I, any one of us, could have been this person, or some republican q-anon type. And somebody creates and shovels this shit. They're all over the goddamned planet, each source like a spore trying to spread, some with more resources and/or luck than others.

Misinformation weaponized and targeted at ignorance, with the aim of creating a plague of what I see as mental illness.

when their rhetoric is exactly the same as Holocaust deniers

Also, it amuses me that they think they aren't already aligned with states just like Israel, except they say "America Bad". Big "Our Glorious Religion vs. Their Primitive Superstition" vibes, denial through pure tribalism.
