Oh god looking at this guys account has so many gems

Jesus Christ, you're not kidding. It's fascinating but I feel like looking at it may have damaged me in some way.

Stuff like this is going to happen. The more they keep inciting transphobic hatred, the more likely that a masculine woman is going to be assaulted. It’s not funny because the woman might not even be a TERF and could be completely innocent.

Abortion and euthanasia are going to lead to autistic people being murdered. Neo progressives already believe that disabled children should be aborted and atheists admit that “life begins some time after birth” meaning they openly support euthanasia up to age five in some cases. A lot of neo progressives think the most humane option for disabled children is abortion or euthanasia at a young age.

My sister supported abortion before she transitioned and she says that she was a creepy white knight when she supported it.

I support raising the minimum wage, but there should be an exemption for people living with middle class parents.

I think they are just trying to pursue viewpoint-inception in a way that deliberately will make everyone in the conversation mad at them, so they can get a high score. I cannot imagine any other explanation.

Pfft. I support abortion up until 99 years of age. At 100 you get a gold star and the doctor says it's not advisable because it'll naturally happen "any moment now".

Imagine your mother killing you at 40 years old

Holy smokes! That account has to be a bot. Awful incoherent ramblings and correct grammar just don't mix.

[-] mecfs@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago

Also I’ll add that this persons instance is literally a russian domain so I guess they are like a putin stooge or something

Red fox? This is defamation 🦊

This was, unironically, a CCP talking point.

In 1995.

In fairness, weather models and climate patterns have come a long way since the mid-90s. Meanwhile, folks who did have access to advanced climate data worked very hard to cover it up.

Thankfully, the world's largest population does appear to be taking climate change much more seriously in the 2020s than they did in the 1990s. Would that more countries took the threat of the Holocene extinction more seriously.

or the elite are just a bunch of short-sighted idiots.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 18 points 2 months ago

You don't have to think ahead when you can just pay other people for everything without ever impacting your standard of living.

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

I think it's even simpler than that. They're millionaires. Why would they give a shit if their house is under water in 20 years. They'll just get another one and stay in their other houses while they find another beach front house, and get some money back from the house insurance they can afford.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah they have FEMA insurance so our taxes pay for it. They love taking our tax money and spending it on their excesses.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Impossible. If they were stupid, how could they possibly have gotten so rich? Its not as though you can just steal billions of dollars through systemic coercion, corruption, and graft.

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 months ago

Is anyone still actually confused about the very obvious link between tankies and right wing trolls?

Their hatred of liberals.

[-] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Maybe you should be more worried about the fact that they can afford million dollar disposable beach front vacation homes

[-] 1stTime4MeInMCU@mander.xyz 18 points 2 months ago

There are plenty of conservatives on Lemmy. I don’t think it’s even pretend tankies I think some people are just straight up MAGA that found their way to a hostile part of the internet lol

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

The elites are building spaceships, cities, and don’t care about the house after they are dead nor its insurability.

[-] Minarble@aussie.zone 9 points 2 months ago

They have beach houses, city pads, mountain retreats and bug out farms in NZ.

They know climate change is real and coming they think they are rich enough to avoid the worst of it.

They don’t give a toss about the resale value of their coastal properties.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

The elites are building spaceships

glances at the Boeing Starliner, the Blue Origin vomit comet, and Virgin Galactic vaporware

Idk if I'd necessarily trust these to get me to safety.

No they are spending it to get to the moon or mars

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.
