"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.

Yep.
Fucking gross. You can't acknowledge that the genocide has been happening 'for decades' and still believe they were the only option to end it without the end of Palestinians - the only way this would be true is if by what you mean as 'end' you mean 'complete, but slower'. Up until now the genocide might have been 'gentler', but it wasn't by any measure slowing down.
No, I'm saying your anger is justified, but you simply aren't granting that same righteous anger to people who have long since given up on the democrats and democracy. Yes, trump is fascist, yes, democrats were better. But popular discontent has been building since long before this election, and it was the Democrats who chose to not to pull those people back in and instead pushed them away.
I don't care about your leftist credentials. I want people to acknowledge that the problems with this election were so much bigger than the individual voter's shirking of responsibility. Placing the blame on voters isn't just selfish, it also deflects blame from democrats who have been fomenting the popular discontent for decades. If a fascist wasn't voted in this election, it would have been the next, or the next. Fascism is a systemic issue, and unless you're willing to deal with it systemically then the only possible outcome is violence.
I hope the party in-totallity has more maturity than you do.
