"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?
(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/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously 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. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
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.
Where does Cowbee find the time to constantly type such gigantic walls of text? Sheesh! Talk about never going outside.
Unemployment. Guaranteed to be living off his parents
but cowbee also tends to just copypaste off the tankie bible, which is redsails. You can search his talking points and see how often he pastes the same things.
I consider myself pretty stubborn, verbose, and terminally online, and even I can't hold a candle to his constant, tedious, and repetitive drivel. Quantity is truly a quality all its own!
"Holodomor is named after Holocaust" now that's a new level of Anglocentrism I didn't expect from a Soviet bootlicker. Like, even if you assume Ukrainian isn't a real language (like russians would tell you), even in russian Holodomor is very clearly derived from a phrase meaning "to starve someone to death".
I know the whole comment is composed of bullshit like this, but that particular point stands out like a sore thumb to anyone who speaks any Slavic language.
even in russian Holodomor is very clearly derived from a phrase meaning “to starve someone to death”.
You think those Tankies can speak Russian? Nah. Most of them are American teenagers.
I mean, yeah, that's my point. Even the most pro-soviet russians would look at this post and go "what the fuck is he on about"
I'm onto your Ukrainian witchcraft, you can't fool me with your facts and etymologies!
Listen, I'm not saying we aren't using witchcraft to defend ourselves, but you can't just talk about it out in the open like this
Boggles the mind that some people take ghouls like this seriously. Even moreso than genocide denial like this is allowed in any decent instance on the Fediverse. Admins need to start taking this seriously.
btw bbg, screencapped the whole post, even the parts where you ramble on about things irrelevant to the point in order to give your your bootlicking the old Ben Shapiro shine. Keep watching, sweetheart, I know you can't live without me 💋
Ok but if I ban him how will you get screenshots like this?
I greatly prefer not interacting with these shitheads at all. As far as I'm concerned, these troglodytes are welcome to their hole. If I was offered "Never get another MoG-worthy screenshot again, but you also don't deal with MoG-worthy shite on comms where decent human beings freqeunt", I'd accept it in a heartbeat. I don't go to tankietown without an extraordinary reason, in the same way that I don't go to Stormfront. I don't even want to go to observe the animals, man, not even as a lark. Not for any concentrated period of time. I just want them to stop shitting all over my floor. A half-disbelieving scoff at an occasional screenshot in MoG is about all I can muster. I have enough fascism to fight in my life without adding these red-painted ghouls.
I can grab stuff off Lemmy ez.
It's less a plea to you specifically and more an open-ended grouse about tankies being treated with kid gloves by nearly everyone here due to the influence of the Lemmy devs, and the recurring fear of getting shafted in support if you oppose their grotesque ideology.
Alright, that's done.
Genocide denial is my red line. I'm a sympathetic ear to people talking positively about communism but when it becomes attempts to justify or dismiss mass murder I get The Rage.
In practice this is hard to enforce because I avoid places where they hang out so these days I don't see much of it.
Like I said, it wasn't necessarily meant as a request to you specifically so much as an open-ended grouse. But I definitely legitimately appreciate that you take the issue seriously.
Hopefully, Piefed will be the future of the Fediverse.
Yep, understood, but I agree strongly with what you said so took action on it!
Oh man, what a find! That must be a word count over 500 easy. A great haul! I do have to dock some points for the absence of links to further "reading material" though.
At some point I was worried by people calling ShitJustWorks a Nazi instance, but it's always the same dozen chucklefucks who'll report and harass you for saying the Stasi were a bad time.
The same conservatives will performatively deny ML has systemic problems, because the nature of conservatism rules out any negativity toward the ingroup.
Tankies call literally everyone nazis. It's meaningless from them.
lmao, he still salty. Don't know why he thinks I misgendered him, unless he has some pretty deeply rooted sexist ideas about language that he needs to shed. :)
And 'sexual harassment' for facetiously saying that someone who is obsessed is in love with the target of their obsession? And that I'm obsessed for noticing someone else pinging me unprompted? lmao
The rest is just Holodomor apologia, unsurprisingly. Anything to get their genocide-denying red-painted Nazi rocks off.
It's one of the quick buttons they press. I got yelled at for "homophobia" when I told them to stop sucking authoritarian cock, as if putting dick in your mouth is inherently gay?
Also how dare you screencap like a coward instead of going there and getting banned for rule 1.
but you used he and they to refer to him...
why is that misgendering?
Clearly the kiss 💋 emoji is blatant sexual harassment to MLs. After all, everyone knows there is no sex in the USSR
you joke but that is what cowbee was saying, they're offended over the use of bbg mixed with the kissing emoji
i've personally been misgendered a fuckton by tankies and they don't care to correct themselves. they don't actually care about misgendering, they just use identity as a weapon.
They do resemble their Soviet idols when they have to repeat the same "Nazi bar" nonsense and hope it sticks.
