"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.

Just want to repeat the comment you hid there in case it's relevant to the point being made.

They can also remain in Palestine and live alongside native Palestinians or return to their home countries under the right of return.

The point is that ethnic jews would no longer have the exclusive right of self-determination in Palestine.

It's not relevant to the point being criticized, since the insane shit being criticized is "It's okay to deport millions of Israeli Jews because they have Bad Ancestors" not "There should be a single nondiscriminatory state for all residents of the region instead of Israel"

OOP started out with this comment, after all:

When the Council of Rabbis falls and the population of enslaved Zionists is liberated and allowed to return to their native countries, Iran will be greated as a liberator.

You forgot this part -

Iran has a right to defend itself

That comment was tongue-in-cheek.

That comment was tongue-in-cheek.

Saying that Iran has the same right to defend itself as Israel hardly strikes me as tongue-in-cheek. Nor does doubling-down talking about how Israel-born Israelis 'belonging' in the countries of their European ancestors despite such rhetoric having no such usage it could be mirrored from regarding current rhetoric in a potential war with Iran.

Here maybe this will help:

"Israel has a right to defend itself"

talking about how ~~Israel-born Israelis~~ [native palestinians] ‘belonging’ in the countries of their ~~European ancestors~~ [pan-arabic neighbors]
