Welcome to MoG!

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/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.

Because this comm is ultimately and unfortunately full of liberals. Comes at the cost of this being an anti-tankie comm which cascades into anti-socialism
lmao, the US-defaultism
This community isn't full of liberals, it's a diverse community filled with all sorts of people with different views. Some are liberals, some are US "liberals", some are anarchists, communists, environmentalists and so on. Neither is this community anti-socialist, if anything, it's pro-socialist.
but sure, blanket an entire community because five people disagree with you.
There's heavy pro-DNC sentiment in here. If that doesn't scream liberal to you, then i don't know what will. Secondly, I'm not even an American, i made a comment specifically referencing the "DNC is better than GOP argument" hence the apparent "defaultism".
Finally, yes it's a diverse comm, i never disputed that fact, but your community is undeniably dominated by liberals who are by definition pro-capitalist and ipso facto anti-communist
If you're not a yank, why are you using their definition of liberal? In the US, liberals don't have any socialist policy, while liberals in the rest of the world all have social liberalism. Heavy pro-DNC sentiment? What? the 13 people who downvoted you? Most of whom aren't even regulars in this community.
I've also never seen anyone in this community actually defend capitalism. Capital, in its current state, is falling apart and proving itself to be unsustainable. Find me anyone who's defending capitalism, and I'll challenge them on that.
I was using the US definition of liberalism because we were discussing a US topic. My fault for not specifying. As for the heavy pro-DNC sentiment, i see it often. There are more Americans than any other nationality combined on Lemmy, and by extension, this community. Therefore, i see it more than I'd expect when this community seemed to have been supposed to cater more to leftists who were critical of the very radical wing.
https://lemmy.world/comment/21430350. Here's a discussion i had with someone a while ago on this comm where they defended capitalism.
Now I'm by no means saying this is the default here, most users here are in fact very critical of capitalism, the problem, however, is that many here think they can do genuine socialist organizing within capitalist parties—who by the way have stopped at nothing to shirk their more radical counterparts. Just look at Zohran Mamdani for example, his policies are no more radical than Polanski's Green party, but democrats were hesitant to endorse him. Nevertheless, there still exists a great many who think organising can be done through the DNC. I still use the term liberal to refer to these individuals: socialist in will, liberal in praxis.
Ah, that's right, my b. Nah, my fault, you were right to use the US definition.
Curious that's the same user and both posts aren't particularly related to tankies.
Holy shit it IS the same user. I never even noticed 😅. It IS quite suspect isn't it
