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 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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.
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 permanently banned.
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.
Fair point. I'll even offer you my main... Question... The slave owners did purposely erase culture and family bonds from the slaves in america.... But they weren't trying to erase their culture from Africa.
So at first I leen to not technically a genocide but the amounts of people and the purposefully planned way we specifically destroyed their past ... Is that genocide? It was purposely done and wide spread... Hundreds of thousands of people.. . But only erasing it from them not the world.... Is that genocide it was documented as essential for slavery, to break apart all culture and loyalty in slaves and erase their identity entirely.... In America... Not their home in Africa. It's why "African American" is a group but "African British " isn't. They purposely had their culture removed from them so their culture group is now basically former slaves.
Is that genocide? I'm not smart enough to say but I see enough to ask l.
That's a fair and arguable point out were the cultures target with the intent... You know what I hate arguing this point. It's complicated. Don't make me argue slavery isn't genocide please.. I don't... Want to have to defend that argument....
Not because I feel Im wrong it's just not how I want to spend my day off
It's like explaining "the victim turned 18 at 12:04 so it's not technically pedophilie and depending on what you consider death to be it might not be necrophilia either"
I'm not saying I'm wrong I'm just saying I don't want to argue that technicality in my day off
Get back to work so you can keep the arguments coming.
Dollar tree ordered me to attend meeting to encourage my employees to sell more candy bars... Also they sent a 40 shelf shipment to replace my one missing shelf and told me to put the other 39 in the trash.
Let's go back to whatever crazy nonsense brought this off because it's less depressing than capitalism.
