"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 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 as opposed to arguing.

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.

Apparently "nationalism is bad" is an uncivil take. Unless there's another reason someone would ban this comment... 🤔

I believe that those particular Chinese students were, at least in the majority, failing to think critically about the discussion at hand.

I'm sure you did. In the same way you insist anyone who votes for Trump simply isn't thinking critically.

Only folks with your shared views are recognized as intellectual. You're incapable of accepting any other train of thought.

To suggest that this means I assume all Chinese citizens are incapable of thinking for themselves

That's the universe of people you're comment established. And the cavalier attitude is why you were banned.

I initially attempted to assume as little about your intentions as possible

I don't see any evidence of that

I don't see any evidence of that

That's why I asked what you meant rather than making assumptions about your intentions. But you even attempted to mock me for that.

I don't need to continue to suffer your unwarranted insults and assumptions. I used my bias to make a statement about my own lived experience without insulting anyone, nor using it as irrefutable evidence of anything. You're using yours to group anyone who disagrees with you together, insult their character and claim intellectual superiority. Go fuck yourself.
