Welcome to MoG!


Meanwhile On Grad


Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse


What is a Tankie?


Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of bias)


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 or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.

Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.

If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

It’s notable how the theme is always “Russia and China are great but the US very, very bad!!”. Not based on any defensible logic or facts though.

Ah yes,

We will never side with Ukraine, because we know America is not fighting for good.

This is a very normal and natural post for someone to make.

Critical support for genocide of Ukrainians, clearly. We're just too liberal-fascist to understand the broader picture of how a capitalist oligarchy genociding civilians in pursuit of imperialist aims is Good For Socialism, Actually

How is supporting Russia Good For Socialism?

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 9 points 11 months ago

Fucking got me. Tankie 'logic' generally starts with the axiom of "America bad" and reaches insane conclusions from there.

US Bad

US hate Russia

Russia Good
