"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 it 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.

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 arguments that lack mutual agreement.

Brigading/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously 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 banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.

Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.

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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

Clearly someone who thinks anarchists are servants of chaos and not what anarchy actually means.

[–] Triasha@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is a smear of an individual with a tiny bit of online clout in certain circles.

Robert Evans is a decent writer and podcaster though if you aren't familiar.

Also a reverend, doctor and judge!

Not bad at bagel chucking either.

But do you know WHO is NOT a corrupt dictator? (Allegedly)

The silicon valley barons are anarcho capitalists and a rather large part of the Epstein files. Take from that what you will.

[–] matthurtme@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Anarchy doesn't have any heirarchy. These Epstein mega crapitalists are the antithesis of anarchy. Anarchy doesn't mean chaos. Although it's always called that, it isn't.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ok but anarcho-capitalists, WTF is that? It's goddamn contradiction. Libertarian is probably what they are, and they're too stupid to realize it.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Libertarian until they need a bailout

They aren't anarchists. Not only is the strict hierarchy in their firms antithetical to anarchism, but most of them are proven fascists or proto-fascists.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 months ago

People just confidently make shit up and it's baffling to me because in order for me to accept something as true I need a mountain of evidence. People out here living on vibes.

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 7 points 2 months ago

Pfff CIA is anarchist now??? /s

Conservatives are just shuffling cards. If they're not allowed to 'no you are the butthead!' then you're not playing fair.

Anarchism is when earthquake happens
