"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
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. β Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech β You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia β (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 β 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 β 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 β 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.
In most cases, 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. Depending on the content, the ban time may vary.

Repeating tankie talking points now, are we? How lovely that you don't even bother with the mask anymore, just outright simping for an attempted coup along explicitly Bolshevik lines against a government that had announced national elections wherein the KPD (that's the Communist Party of Germany, mind you, not the Libertarian Socialist Party of Germany) was in no way restricted from running.
But I guess you just have a general dislike for elections and democracy. I hear you can pick up a nice armband from the National Socialist Party; they seem your speed on the subject of both elections and genocide.
Well, at least the masks are off now. We know what PJ would do when libsocs are actually a danger to the system: Join the Fash and call for their execution.
Because I... think that attempting to use force to suppress proposed democratic elections was a bad thing, even if the ones using force were painted red?
That's what "mask-off" is to you? Literally being anti-tankie?
Nice job ignoring that the KPD proposed a system explicitly along Bolshevik lines, not 'libsoc', the Bolsheviks having already overthrown an elected leftist government in Russia by this time.
You're the truest example of a scratched liberal.
Because I take the "democratic" in "democratic socialism" seriously?
You're sitting here quite literally simping for an attempt to coup a government instead of participating in democracy, explicitly along the lines of an authoritarian government which had overthrown leftists in Russia.
Sorry for believing in democracy, I understand that your curious form of 'anarchism' apparently thinks that the Vanguard Party knows what's best for the unwashed masses, and must impose that will by force upon them.
The People's Hierarchy!
Why post disengage. Why not just do it. As an administrator, as a moderator it's clear you knew what the correct actions were. You just couldn't take your own advice. And it only gets worse from there.
I'm not here to take a side in the greater argument. I wasn't here for it, and don't have a dog in the fight necessarily. That and I suppose "oh no, drama in a drama sub". But whatever impression or perception I had of you. At this point you're tarnishing. Not that that necessarily means anything. I'm no one special. Not that the original accusation wasn't hyperbole. But you are only lending it credence the more you post now.
Because that signals one doesn't want to continue the discussion explicitly and that the other person shouldn't keep waiting for an answer that will never come. It grants the last word to the other party as well. Not quite sure what your issue is with the disengange.
Posting is definitialy engagement. It's explicitly the opposite of letting them have the last word. Especially when you continue to engage afterwards.
Maybe I'm an uncouth Ozark hillbilly who's parents grew up in houses with dirt floors. Maybe it was some masterdebater super move on your part. But my problem with it as you put it. Specifically is that even you didn't seem to respect it afterwards. π€·ββοΈ
Your first post way up top was "adequate". You'll never win 100% in the face of drama. Continuing to post, you're just weakening it.
lmao, saving this one
And you're the truest example of a scratched anarkiddie
