"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.

If you keep putting shit covered bandages on a wound, you will stop the bleeding, and theoretically it's better than no bandage at all, but you're not fixing anything.
You will eventually need to cut away all the infected tissue and start serious reconstruction in order to save the area; but that all starts with stopping the people that insist the shit covered bandage is the only solution.
These are humans you're advocating for hurting.
No, they're the embedded rot of society that insists itself is necessary for the healing process.
I mean I am advocating for hurting 'people,' if you consider capitalists and their supporters people, but they absolutely need to be hurt for the rest of us to have a chance of survival.
You're not going to hurt them enough for any meaningful change. You're just hurting people under them.
Hopefully, then they'll stop accepting getting stabbed in the face and do something about it after they start getting stabbed in the gut.
That does not work. Accelerationism is a famously dumb policy.
Well incrementalism objectively does not work, and electoralism does not work, so what's your strategy?
Downvoting tankies on the Internet. Hurts fewer people.
Sure thing buddy. Everyone you don't like is a tankie.
You're an idiot.
Just a .ml or Hexbear user hiding behind an alt account too, probably.
Many trans people and disabled people on Benefits aren’t pro-trump. In fact those are some of the most leftist demographics. Yet they bear the brunt of the abuse under Trump.
This requires precision and care. Trump is lopping off all the limbs with a dull hatchet while punching the patient in the face and laughing about it, and you're okay with it because there's a melanoma on the toe. Fucking psychotic.
From your other comment below:
They are people, regardless of your attempt to dehumanize them. Most people in the capitalist west just don't know that there are other ways to organize society, and instead of educating them and bringing them on board so we can change things, you've skipped all the way to "up against the wall", because you don't view others in the labor class as "people" unless they share your specific views. Again, fucking psychotic.
Practically nobody in the capitalist west is a capitalist, read your theory.
All the other nonsense only makes sense from the perspective of a privileged white middle class suburbanite.
Literally my point. Read my comment again.
Oh look, more language to dehumanize those of the proletariat who don't share your specific view of things. Good job.
Absolutely psychotic.
Petite bourgeoisie aren't quite proletariat.
