"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.

I hope this post fits the content and format of this community, if not I'm sorry.

I'm just incredibly shocked by the fact that an admin of the instance lemmy.dbzer0.com is openly supporting Hamas.

Here's a link to the comment: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/61235665/23634712

He's basically using an utterly irrational argument to defend an already 100% confirmed terrorist group!

Anyone who uses the term "shitlibs" shouldn't ever be taken seriously about anything.

I don't condemn Hamas for fighting Israel but I also don't support Hamas the Right-Wing organization created and funded by Israeli intelligence for the express purpose of weakening the PLO and preventing Palestinian unity. I wouldn't be surprised at all if orders to launch the Oct 7 attackers came straight from Netanyahu. Some of the biggest protests to ever rock Israel occurred in 2023 from January till Oct 7 and Netanyahu would probably be in prison right now if not for the Hamas attack allowing his trial to be repeatedly delayed.

I'm sorry but stating that Netanyahu ordered October 7th sounds more like a conspiracy than anything.

shitlibs

But then in their other comment:

I cant speak for anyone else but on a personal level I don’t tend to agree that calling people “tankies” and “red fash” is productive when referring to other leftists

OK, for all intents and purposes, it's a tankie.

DB0 is a highly suspect instance.

Now how does the same admin feel about Bandera, Azov, the Russian Volunteer Corps, and the Prigozhin mutiny?

[–] amino@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Prigozhin wasn't fighting against imperialism, he was a Russian imperialist himself. his only problem was that he wasn't in control of it

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Hamas is in the same boat. They're a jihadist group who want to impose their beliefs on to everyone else through violence. They themselves are imperialist. Just because Israel is that doesn't mean they aren't either.
