China is perfect, who cares if LGBT+ people don't have the same rights as other countries. China doesn't need that.
"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.
China needs to learn nothing form other countries.
So perfect.
Like how my parents from China tells me that I'm a man and am "unmanny" for crying. （男子漢大丈夫，流汗不流淚）Men aren't allowed to display emotions...
Like how depression doesn't exist and all I need to go outside for a walk and need to 振作啲 開朗啲...
Like how they casually describe locking up people in a village perceived to be "crazy" (think: ADHD, Autism, Down Syndrome... etc)... like you aren't allowed in society... you're trapped like a pet in a cage... or animals in a barn...
Like how they use words like 低B (a deorgratory term) to describe anyone perceived to be "stupid"
Like how unions don't exist and strikes are illegal.
etc...
Perfect society.
Video games are bad, go study more.
Oh, if your children ever stuggle, just criticize them in order to pushe them further ahead. That's Chinese Parenting Love. Wonderful!
Depressed kid? No worries. Tell them. Hey, why are you such a useless eater, do you wanna be a burden to society? Such a disappointment!
There you go, now the kid will definitely have the confidence to get ahead in life and totally not kill themselves.
The Chinese Style of parenting is sooo perfect!
Hey maybe if reincarnation exists, you even get to be born to a Chinese family your next life!
(Honestly tho... I wonder if I was a tankie my previous life so my reward for this life is getting born to Chinese parents... 🫠)
For future reference: "unmanny" -> "unmanly"
