"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 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.

to say everyone not willing to take whatever punishment is out there for refusing is fair game to kill pretty far out there to me.

Currently, it's 100 days in prison from a quick google search.

So yes, anyone willing to commit genocide instead of spending 100 days in prison is absolutely fair game.

That's also how these things usually work. I'm certain the percentage of soldiers in the Russian army that actually want to be there is very low, and they have to deal with a lot more then just 100 days in prison if they refuse. They must be mowed down regardless.

That doesn't fucking mean that Ukraine would be in the right for regarding all Russians who've went through mandatory military service but are now out of it as targets.

Apologia for murdering civilians is not welcome here.

I wouldn't exactly call any reservist currently occupying Ukrainian land a civilian. It's a tough subject and there are valid points on each side.

That being said, it's not antisemitic to view idf and ex-idf currently occupying palestinian land as valid targets.

If you want to talk about if it's moral, follow the link and argue with him. I'm talking about the "if you are critical of the state of israel, you are a nazi" aspect.
