"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, 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.

So I get on Piefed, bc there apparently the tankie problem is more addressed, and 50% of what I see is tons of posts calling for violent solutions to the fascist craze going on in the US right now, but not a single person anywhere calling out that these posts are largely 2 accounts and both have, by now, been on this very community documented as left masquerading apologists for the other (hostile) foreign camp. Somehow, all conversation on the fediverse, and Im sure everywhere else on the social media I dont consume, is dominated by, how much more can we take until we [REDACTED]?

I'm not here to shit on people lashing, nor am I even here to debate the morality of violent solutions to violent times. I'm here to say one thing and one thing only,

THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE FOUGHT WITH GUNS.

WE NEED A GENERAL STRIKE!

Even here on the fediverse, threadiverse, or whatever fucking thing yall decide to call it next, where you think you are so far away an immune from it, the oligarchs are still programming your thoughts. Despite decent education having indirectly taught it for years that it is easier to mobilize MASS amounts of people nonviolently, and that teaching much more directly that the size of a strike needed to bring down a country is really not all that great, we're all here jerking off to violent self-righteous fantasies in which we, the super martyr, emerge either victorious through trials and blazes, or perish in the noble cause and are carried high above the shoulders of the screaming masses, cozied up in their most precious memories.

Fuck that.

Be real.

The rich even control all platforms of communication. Call your friends and stop working. That's what actually works.

Your demands should be: the immediate dissolution of this entire farce of an administration, and the immediate undoing of all laws enacted during their reign of terror.

Or fight against the surveillance state sponsored by Palanturd, complete with militarized drones.

Either way no rats.
