"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.

Literally. Hamas has done basically nothing to help the people. The people of Gaza are the heroes Hamas and Israel are just a couple of monsters victimizing them.
Hamas is the perfect partner for Israeli genocidaires. That's why Israel funded them in the first place.
They definitely have a symbiotic relationship.
If Fatah was still in power, Israel would’ve had a much more difficult time in demonizing Gaza in their propaganda outlets.
They also wouldn't need to, because the West wouldn't give a shit about Gaza without Hamas activities to put Palestine in the news. There's a reason Hamas won that election in 2006.
They also wouldn’t need to, because the West wouldn’t give a shit about Gaza without Hamas activities to put Palestine in the news.
... Gaza was a big fucking deal back when Fatah was in power, and it was when Fatah was at the head of things that the peace process came closest to becoming reality, with significant Western interest and support.

No you are supposed to PICK A SIDE. Don't you dare think for yourself /s
Literally. Hamas has done basically nothing to help the people.
Not directly, but it's no coincidence that the Palestine solidarity movement only expands after Israel uses Hamas as an excuse to slaughter Gazans. Since at least 2006 Hamas has been a very important catalyst for the advancement of the Palestinian cause (which isn't mutually exclusive with them being massive pricks, that's also true).
That's like a Make-a-Wish kid thanking cancer for making them famous Etc. I think most Make-a-Wish kids would just wish that they didn't have cancer. Hamas has literally done nothing for the Palestinians since they managed to gain power. Just make things worse while working in cahoots with Israel.

Shouldn’t call them “heroes”…
ngl probably russians, spewing hate online to further conflictand
unlikely considering how small lemmy is. Waste of resources.
No, they're here.
This is one place they test and refine candidate tactics, as well as roll them out to the more fringe on the left.
And your evidence of this?
Trust Me, Bro.

Not everyone is a russian troll, bad people exist everywhere.
And especially considering it's VTC, if I have to ascribe a group to them without proof, it's the Zizians.

Hamas is a terrorist organization, same as the IDF, both of their beleifs depend on the extermination of the other.
I hope the peoples oppressed by these regimes can liberate themselves.
I think the biggest danger is the single sidedness of it all. You have to pick a side and then hate the other. Same thing is happening with India and Pakistan.
I think the biggest danger is all the people that are dead...
It's always that guy
I pay extra attention to him because his instance is the only active vegan one.
vegantheoryclub? lol, who goes to that instance?
Anyone who has an opinion that differs from the VTC admin.

Are the Haredi the ones who believe that Israel cannot exist before the Messiah comes?
Yes, nothing this person is saying is crazy if you understand the context of their sect's belief.
Just because you understand it doesn't mean it's not crazy...
I almost forgot about Vegantheoryclub.org I remember controversy about them with !vegan@lemmy.world where one of the mods of that community was also an admin on there or had ties to the admin there and was using it to ban anyone who criticized her or downvoted her. She was posting a ton of reactionary content (some of which was misinformation) and even tried to ban LW admins from the community. They eventually booted her and she tried to use alts to add herself back but ended up getting all of them booted and then used an alt to try and create more drama.
Yeah I strongly recommend people stay away from vegantheoryclub, they're not a good instance. Their admin clearly has problems.

Could’ve left that part out…
Of course he engages in name calling. He thinks I care much more about his community than I really do. I haven’t checked on VTC for weeks.
lmao I wonder who this one single downvote may be
what a pathetic islamist 🤣
In his words, a single downvote would be declared “vote manipulation”.
