"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.

~~Socialism~~ Capitalism with ~~Chinese~~ Fascist Characteristics

Characteristics like trying to "terminate" the second-born child in a family against the parent's wishes because "oVErpOPuLAtiON". (It's me btw, I'm the second child in my family)

Don't worry, it's reversed nowadays, now they're pressuring women into having more kids for the ~~Fatherland~~ Glorious People's Republic.

Forced Abortion and Forced Births are really two sides of the same coin: The government interfering with people's own decisions about their bodies, something the government have absolutely no rights to interfere with.

Should've ask him what these "chinese characteristics" are, because as a chinese, i have absolutely no idea what these people talking about.

It sounds pretty racist if you think about it.

No one ever feels alone in China cuz the government always knows where you are

Even abroad you can always find fake chinese cops to take you away from the evil occident and share your organs with people who need them more.

China is socialist? They have an investor class and a stock market

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Actually, sweatie, it's the PEOPLE'S investor class and stock market.

Critical support for the People's Billionaires!

The only thing the people recognize is The People's Elbow!

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Social capitalist actually.

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Id argue neo-mercantilist if that's a thing. They have an authoritarian state directly involved in business so it isn't capitalism. Modern Mercantilism with Chinese characteristics?
