They also think NK is food stable lol

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 47 points 2 months ago

It is stable in the sense that they have been starving for a long time

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

No food.

"Refusing aid to a tyrannical murdering regime is just virtue signaling that hurts the innocent."

"Upholding a tyrannical murdering regime with aid is the same as performing its murders yourself."

Which one do tankies believe? Well, it depends on whether the tyrannical murdering regime is pro-US or anti-US.

I’ve had yogthos blocked since like my second day on lemmy, you’re a braver person than me just tagging them.

[-] Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 2 months ago

He's literally Russian so no surprise there.

[-] Glide@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Funny, I called him out on being more interested in attacking Liberalism and supporting fascist regimes than actually speaking out against human rights crimes, and noted that he has a concerning bias towards political spheres which currently have an approaching/ongoing election. My suspicion became that he's a tankie programmer who happens to just like this space in his down time, but genuine Putin praising Russian citizen/asset was never really off the table.

[-] Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago

I'm not sure if he's currently in Russia, but he definitely has a Russian passport as evidenced by a pic he posted a year or so ago. Could be safe for all I know too

[-] borari@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

Is he a Russian immigrant to Canada, or just a Canadian with Russian ancestry?

[-] Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 months ago

He posted a pic of him holding a Russian passport. Not sure if his or not.

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

Must be true then. /s

im gonna use this as a part of my plan to blast a tankie with everything I've gotten. thanks for ammo!

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 25 points 2 months ago

The DPRK is genius

It is much less of a burden if you don't feed people

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

Occasionally I wonder if I should unblock .ml to get more content, then I always remember why they're blocked in the first place.

[-] Draghetta@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

If you’re into brainrot might as well install tiktok and watch skibidi toilet knockoffs, still better content than tankie hogwash

[-] FundMECFSResearch 8 points 2 months ago

Yup, and less horrifying than people casually defending genocides

[-] hitwright@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

If you jerk their chains enough, they will block you ;)

[-] FundMECFSResearch 16 points 2 months ago

Man I blocked yungthos ages ago. I don’t know if I’d even be going on lemmy if I couldn’t block people like him.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 5 points 2 months ago

I'm honestly surprised the account didn't take some time off after the election.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

how did you get the tankie flares to show up on those people? did you have to add them manually?

[-] TheFrirish@jlai.lu 20 points 2 months ago

I add them manually on the Voyager app you should try it! I think Connect has it as well

[-] Draghetta@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Oh, I thought they were user flares and those people had a modicum of self awareness. Silly me to attribute double digit neurons to tankies.

[-] TheFrirish@jlai.lu 13 points 2 months ago

I'm just marking them just to see how much of my feed they take up

[-] FundMECFSResearch 3 points 2 months ago

Perso, je bloque, je comprend pas ton courage.

[-] TheFrirish@jlai.lu 4 points 2 months ago

Ça me permet de faire du recensement au moins pour notre instance.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

oh that is really nice to know about. i've been using voyager for about a year now and i'm constantly surprised by all the wonderful features they keep adding.

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

Connect has it, it's a life saver!

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

I suppose they just edited the picture

[-] TheFrirish@jlai.lu 8 points 2 months ago

Using tags on Voyager to identify people.

Also... Boom you got tagged!

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Wait, I didn’t know about this feature! Ty !

And how do you enable separate upvote/downvote ?

[-] TheFrirish@jlai.lu 6 points 2 months ago

no worries cool username by the way. learned something today

[-] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago

These are the people who call South Korea for "Occupied Korea". Anything will always circle back to something bad the US does.

All you need is to look at their post history to see the clear agenda. I hope he gets paid. Otherwise it's just sad.

[-] pewgar_seemsimandroid 8 points 2 months ago

yogothos is a known tankie

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Is he still around? I think he has been blocked by a lot of instances

[-] pewgar_seemsimandroid 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

instances can block users??? i think I've blocked him myself. edit: apparently not.

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.
