"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 it 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.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

Well when I think of a trial I think of laws and statutes and torts and legislation that go along with legal proceedings.
So is it basically mega democracy where everyone gets involved? how will the majority ensure the minority will be protected? like that pesky john family who refuse to let us eat their dogs?
Yes it is a mega democracy.
Anarchy can only exist when everyone is at an equitable level.
Minority oppression arises from someone becoming an authority. That someone could be an organization that has formed, and that organization would have to be dismantled.
Edit: also - anarchists believe in property possession, rather than ownership. So you would not be entitled to eat anyone's dogs but your own. How they got the dogs isn't of importancez what is of importance is who is feeding and caring for them.
hm. tangibly related, but I'm curious what you think of the Plurbs from Pluribus, if you've seen that show. Is perfect anarchism peace on Earth?
I haven't seen the show, but peace without needing to enforce it is the ultimate goal.
