"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?
(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.
Anyone crying about nato and specifically citing the ukrainian azov battalion. Is almost certainly a Russian Z Nazi or supporter of them. It's an easy way to identify them since it's an oddly specific combonation of groups to hate.
And for the record. Azov never would have existed if russia didn't start a war against Ukraine in 2014.. eat me
Imagine you believe Stalin and Winnie are left
I dont have to. I was 12 at one point too.
If I was a "leftist" mod of an already very left community and a meme I share with that community is about to reach -70 karma I would abandon my account, request asylum on another instance and call myself the digital Viktor Yanukovych lmao
Is that supposed AOC? Lmfao, I'm pretty sure AOC is anti-israel.
Also, why do they always put the younger portrait of Xi, rather than the most recent one, like most western leaders do? Like just find the Baidu BaiKe (Baidu Wiki) for Xi, and compare it to the Xi on Wikipedia...
Don't want to be reminded of your impending death due to old age, Xi? 🤔
(Like bro, just use a more recent portrait, the younger you looks like an inexperienced idiot)
She's critical enough of Israel to piss off your average zionist, but also don't want to "decolonize" it, which in many tankies' heads equals with the strawman the far-right has about decolonization.
There's a faction of liberals who hate AOC the way 13-year-olds call mom a bitch for making them go to the dentist.
I mean there is a faction of liberals that hate AOC, but the person/people who made the meme definitely aren't liberal.
Lol on the left two genociders, one man who i actually respect(tried to fix all the shit going on in the world, even if i dont think its the right solution, he at least tried) and one guy who i dont even know. And on the right which is aimed at people like me. Im not a democrat and i think theyre shit(tho im european and would probably vote for them because you dont even have a choice in murica), im sceptic of the new syrian leadership(but hopeful), fuck israel and nato is just free military for us but i think we should invest more into it because the us is a horrible ally as we can see in ukraine. Idk bout the rest. So yeah complete bullshit from tankies as usual.
Idk when I say im left wing I mean this:
I feel like this isn't a good example if it's being heavily down voted. Wouldn't that imply the community has an anti-tankie sentiment on the whole? what am I missing
'Run by red fash', the poster is also one of the two mods for the community.
It's actually hilarious that a mod post is that deep in the negatives.
oh yep, there's the mod icon, I'm just a dumbass thanks lol
Considering the very concept of "late stage capitalism" is the Marxist Leninist version of the end times, with the revolution being their equivalent of the rapture/the second coming, I would have been surprised if it had been any other way.
