"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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from 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 permanently banned.
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.
(regarding Drew DeVault's opinion piece on Hyprland and its conservative/fascist dev and toxic community)
You must either be Left or Right. The Left will decide which one you are.
Well, rightoids are known for claiming to be centrists, claiming to be libertarians, claiming that rightism is "default and apolitical", etc and so forth.
And Lefties are known for saying anyone who thinks you should be able to contract someone to do a job for you for an agreed upon payment is a fascist.
Tankies aren't really leftists, they're authoritarians.
Why does this feel like a reference to a specific example you're not explaining?
Basic liberalism?
Oh, you're one of those Illiterates that thinks Liberals are "The Left" instead of just Diet Conservatism.
Carry on, I won't bother you anymore.
See, case in point, folks!
Lmao sure buddy
You must be new here.
there are only two ideologies
mine and nazis
You spread fake news during a genocide. You can't do nazier shit than that
What‘s your ideology, goat?
I avoid labelling myself as I don't think it does any good.
But gun to the head, I'd have to say I'm an environmentalist with a touch of social ecology. Though I avoid calling myself a social ecologist because it can be affiliated with violence, and I'm not opposed to governments.
Socially, I care most about freedom, expression and democracy.
What about yourself?
Ah, alright. The mod of a ~~nazi bar~~¹ highly politicized community² doesn't like labels and then strategically formulates the most broad and empty perspective about their own ideological thought, one can come up with. I applaud the skill³ you excercise.
Let me try one like that, but from my perspective:
I avoid labelling myself as I don’t think it does any good.
But gun to the head, I’d have to say I’m also somewhat of an environmentalist, but actually more of a humanist with a touch of economic analysis. Though I avoid calling myself an economic analyst because it can be affiliated with radicalism, and I’m not opposed to democratic institutions.
Socially, I care most about justice, liberation and human dignity.

lol i think you're mad because i didn't fit into your preconceived notions and your whole dialogue tree is ruined
also if this is a nazi bar, why are you here?
a. If you think I'm a nazi in a bar, that's not a nazi bar: why am I still here, bartender?
b. If you think I'm not a nazi, but in a nazi bar, the real question would be: what are you doing here, bartender?
Lol ya, big ass gotcha, haha. Why you think my notion is preconceived? I'm working with what you give me.
well why else are you so mad?
I'm mad, because you are an enabler of fascist narratives, counterfactuality and hate speech.
oh? how's that?
See: nazi bar, and you being the bartender.
lmao, that doesn't answer anything. Where are the fascist narratives? The counterfactuality? The hate speech?
