"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.

Lol if you're not defending communist dictators, you're fascist?
They truly are missing a few screws.
Not defending communist dictators is unequal to drinking the cool aid in a nazi bar. You could do one without the other. You don‘t, tho.
What if both those things are bad though? Have you ever had this rational thought?
Yes, thanks, that's why the comment exists. You are drinking the cool aid in a nazi bar. There's no need to engage in this toxic community, just because you don't like people that you (perceive) as defending communist dictators.
I just said both are bad, why not go back to that community instead of bitching about our chuckling?
Because chuckling with nazis is something I condemn in general, maybe you or others like to be aware of what's happening, if you engage in this community. You chuckle with rightwingers, nazis, genocide deniers, fascists and naive people that don't realise that. Which one are you?
You keep calling people nazis like that's your one "gotcha", everything I hate is Nazi. You people crack me up, but commenting here is kinda breaking the 4th wall. It's kinda weird.
I didn't call anyone specific that (lately). But you seem fine with the kind of company you enjoy. I'm just saying stay away, if you don't enjoy this kind of company. You enjoy chuckling with nazis, that's regrettable, but your choice.
You called them Nazi again. Seriously, keep the funny coming, this is beyond amusing.
If the posts on that community weren't so damn ridiculous I wouldn't enjoy the posts here as much.
You should see the absolute garbage some of the mods say on it too, does that mean you implicitly agree with everything posted by them?
Keep on replying, it's genuinely funny to read.
You already showcased how easily you are entertained by chuckling with this community. So alright, ... Just because I say that this community is a Nazi bar and you are chuckling with the likes does not also mean that I explicitely call "them" (everyone in this community) Nazi. All I say is that this is the environment where also Nazis (and the likes) are chuckling. With you (and others, that might not be Nazis). You chuckle about an outgroup you share your disdain with. Nazis will expand their disdain to persecution and murder and you keep on chuckling. Nice, hu-ho-ha-ha. Quality character.
It's really amusing, keeping digging that hole, pretending to be above it all.
You keep calling people Nazi because they disagree with you, and then saying you're not calling them nazis.
You're on a community that thinks it's great that Russia is invading a sovereign nation and destroying and killing countless people, view must be great from that glass house of yours.
