Volodymyr Zelensky is deliberately setting conditions Russia can't accept to portray it as blocking peace talks,

Isn't that exactly what Russia did before the invasion???

Russia has the potential to become the world's largest cinema thanks to its massive capacity for projection

enough to distort reality, and project mentally into peoples minds.

.ml users are Russians or very very stupid.

Or both.

Most russians don't speak English. And those that do usually hold no illusions about their country and government.

This level of willing ignorance cannot be explained simply by where they're from.

A lot of their rhetoric and stylistic choice strongly suggest they are not russian (outside of perhaps some marginal edgelords).

  • An organized attempt at promoting russian propaganda wouldn't reference rhetoric such as "North Korea is a vanguard against imperialism" or "You're a fucking capitalist liberal". That's counterproductive to the goal of spreading russian propaganda narratives as it makes them look unhinged to the target market of median US/EU citizens.
  • A russian who is a committed supporter of putin and genocidal imperialism would not reference the USSR in the way the tankies do. One of the senior ML mods constantly spams some flawed study about Soviet caloric intake being of better quality than in the US in the 80s. No putin supporter (or any russian for that matter) would say something so stupid.

So what happens when AI ( with the personhood republicans want to give them) start to appear on juries?

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.

Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. โ€” Basically, don't be a dick.

Hate-Speech โ€” You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia โ€” (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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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.
