"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/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.

MODERATORS
i gotta get in front of this before you guys mangle another nickname (seriously 'the tankie troika' was right there) and 'the tankie pyatyorka' is way better
Why do you post comments here when you view this comm as a nazi bar, although most of the users here are demsocs or anarchists?
Also what kind of anarchist defends governments, especially authoritarian ones (CCP/Putin/Kims), hangs around hexbear all the time and posts screenshots of this comm to Slop@hexbear.net?
You probably only call yourself an anarchist, because you oppose the current government or believe the crap that the state would just wither away after a century of totalitarian government you'd call a "dictatorship of the proletariat" when proletarians don't even have a say and everything is dictated by toxic party elites.
i was here to crack a joke at the expense of the godawful nicknames you come up with here tbh. i couldn't resist. i'm certainly not here to hang out or look for sympathy like you are. i'm an anarchist because it's who i organize with and the values that i hold.
i don't 'defend' governments, at most i'll have critical support for enemies of the hegemonic bourgeois dictatorships of the world. I don't care for people like putin, the most common sentiment i've seen on hexbear is that he's someone lenin would have shot. put me in a room with trump and putin with a loaded gun and i'd be happy to take that on.
liberals love to browbeat about 'lesser evil' when it comes to voting for one of two genocidal warmongers. if it's between authoritarian bourgious dictatorships and 'authoritarian' proletarian dictatorships it's pretty clear which side's the lesser evil. i've found way more common cause with so-called 'tankies' than with say, zionist liberals/'social democrats' when it comes to opposing war and empire.
if you're actually interested in my politics, instead of going after a straw target you could try messaging me on my main account. i've nothing more to say here.
You are such a liar and hypocrite. We see the stuff you post on hexbear and it all points to you using "anarchist" as some sort of shield when your sympathies lie elsewhere.
The fact that you used quotes around authoritarian before writing proletarian dictatorships screams that you are a ML and not an anarchist.
