"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.

Animal fetishists?! You mean... furries?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think we have a relict from the mid-2000s in our midst, back when half the internet was in open war with furries.

Guy uses "degenerates" straight and is complaining about commies, progressives and furries. 90% they're a cryptofash.

Hating on beehaw makes perfect sense, then. Fascists and an empathy-negating neurosis, generally due to early childhood trauma in that area, name a more iconic duo. All those other things (commies, progressives, furries) actually have their fascist versions but hippies? Forget it. Incompatible in principle.

There’s a lot of weird hippie cults, including Charles Manson’s. If your hippieism leans towards the aesthetic then it’s perfectly compatible with fascism. Not to mention the weird Californian ideology that isn’t straight fascism but sure is authoritarian in its anti-authoritarianism.

Fascism is by definition syncretic. It eats whatever it finds and makes more of itself, with rigid power structures and might makes right logic. Every large enough movement can have a fascist version of itself.

Now it is 1984

Knock-knock at your front door

It's the suede denim secret police

They have come for your uncool niece!

I'm too lazy to look through their comment history at the moment, but you're probably right.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 10 points 2 months ago

You dont have to look far. Literally just this thread

[–] SteveXVII@pawb.social 3 points 2 months ago

Thank you for pointing this out, I was quite surprised it got this many upvotes.

[–] natebluehooves@pawb.social 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

NGL I thought my instance had gone off the rails while I wasn’t looking for a second there. Getting lumped in with hexbear and .ml is pretty rough. Beehaw? Good company imho.

[–] sparkle@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

The worst part is his comments were upvoted a lot when I commented that... there's probably a few chaps who have the impression that everyone on the furry instances is the reincarnation of Lenin now lol

[–] natebluehooves@pawb.social 4 points 2 months ago

Yeah… especially considering our general stances on things, that inversion really sucks. Hopefully this isn’t a common opinion.

Reading that actually made me double-take and check the modlogs. It was so…. Confident.
