"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 it 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.

Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.

Brigading/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.

Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.

In most cases, 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. Depending on the content, the ban time may vary.

.ML is such obvious fucking trash. All the links are to tass.com / ria, rt, tsargrad, xinhua, China daily, etc. They hate getting called out in it so often it's just a screen grab from one of those shit tier propaganda sites or a Twitter link with a screen grab.

[–] ThirdConsul@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

I regularly have my comments removed on .ml when I use xinhua as a source (when it contradicts whatever the shills are shilling).

I probably got banned for "propaganda", because I dared link to the imperialist drag EUvsDisinfo disproving their claim that Ukraine suppressed the russian minority, ehich of course is more condemnable than just claiming stuff with no source whatsoever.

"Much better russian offer" my entire ass. Better for putin, mayhaps.

[–] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Really shows you how hard they sniff their own farts. As if the loose cooperation of the Eurasian Economic Union could hold a candle to the EU. Maybe in the field of raw resources, like oil. But it certainly isn't a vote of confidence that Armenia is seeking closer integration with the EU.

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 days ago

If anything, they were looking for Ukraine's raw resources, just as they are now in the east. It was never about giving back, always about taking.

So good Russia had to go to war to get Ukrainians to agree!

Giant petrodollar nation was forced to do so😢

Once again I must point out: no relation.

[–] Lehmuusa@nord.pub 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The modlog says outright that the mdoeration decision was done by davel. The relation is extremely clear and unambiguous.

Too late davel, I'm already tying the noose

[–] Lehmuusa@nord.pub 3 points 3 days ago

Ah, understood :)

"European imperialists". I don't think Cowbee realizes Russians are European and the Putin regime is imperialist

[–] Geobloke@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago

Ukraine siding with the EU is imperialistic, but the Russian invasion is liberation

Cowbee views the Russians as their own civilization seperate from Europe. Because Soviet Union mkay?

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

I mean it's davel and cowbee...two tankie idiots.

I recommend you block the entire instance
