"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.

Jesus Christ my guy. If you willingly look at all this, the history and facts of what Israel did and continues to do to Palestinians, and you still willingly go with the narrative that Israel isn't an ethnostate and isn't committing acts of Genocide, then there is no saving you. The Scholz ministry's propoganda has gone way up there in your head.

Nazis and alt-right nutjobs own the word "woke" as an insult. Being labelled "woke" is a badge of honor, all things considered, because it tells you that the right-wing lunatics really don't like you. You might want to change your strategy because it's genuinely funny to most people when someone uses it as an insult. It sounds like a parody of conservatives from 2014 YouTube. It's even amplified by you apparently thinking linguists (humanities specialists?) are some type of woke lesser.

I'm done with this conversation man. You're going to stay stuck in the 19th century for the rest of your life.

Ok I said I was done with talking but this comment in particular is funny. You're really that extremely against the SPD and the German left huh...

After the rise of the Nazi Party to power, the SPD was the only party present in the Reichstag to vote against the Enabling Act of 1933; the SPD was subsequently banned, and operated in exile as the Sopade.

Maybe you're the Nazi if we think about it ;) After all, you're on the side of modern genocide. Have you considered that the Nazis got into power because of the centrists, the people "left nor right", refusing to take a stance against Nazism, instead fearmongering over the woke socialists and justifying the rise in power of the right as the left "pushing too far" and being "too radical"? You know, basic civil rights and all that extremist Marxist stuff.... Pretty analogous to what people like you are doing today, don't you think? "Oh what was left extremism then is fine, but what's left extremism now is the end of humanity".

Not that I disagree much of the modern SPD is pieces of shit. Because of their anti-Palestinian rhetoric and lack of action against Russia, not because of their "wokeness". But that's the entire German government, not localized to them.

But okay, okay, now I promise I really won't make a snarky response to your blatantly defamatory insults again. Go off on me. Call me those slurs you were saying were completely fine to use.
