I disagree. I personally don’t see any reason why someone would seriously see communism as legit without shoving there head in the sand. At least the free market doesn’t lead to mass starvation. To be fair it isn’t a black and white thing but communism is a failed system from the 20th century

Geez. The question isn’t whether communism is a good idea. It’s whether every communist is a Russia-supporting tankie. They’re just not. Some recognize Russia’s imperialism for what it is

You are a brainwashed propagandist with that comment. Good for them. Can you explain to me why the US and NATO did not intervene with the genocide in Georgia? Make that TWO genocides. Who did? How much territory did they take? You know that counts in your inaccurate figure just as an example.

Americans are too stupid for the Internet.

i was recently banned from like 5 different ML communities, no clue why, hi ML admin or mod if you could tell me why that would be cool.

It was probably something stupid i did, i never read rules. (in my defense, they’re always the same and i’m never going to follow them lmao) But regardless, silent bans are weird.

You’ve provided totally inadequate context while seeking shallow bandwagon validation from idiots. It’s not logical. And, you’ve made a bad faith request. Yet, logic and good faith discussion are prerequisites to the study of philosophy.

The core prerequisite for participation in communist discussion is a comprehensive understanding of Capital. If one demonstrates they didn’t do the reading then they’ll be told to shut the fuck up so as to not interfere with classroom discussion.

I’ve answered your bad faith request. It’s more than you deserve. You should be thankful. But, you’re likely angry. No good deed goes unpunished. I’ll not even see your response.

i have no more context than anyone else here lmao.

is ml a commie instance? Am i just stupid and didn’t notice this? I just thought it was the other main lemmy instance. It just happened to have a lot of tankies by chance.

you’re also not an ML instance user, so i’m not sure how you’re answering this lmao.

I’ll not even see your response.

ok

Don’t worry, there’s no reason to read the ML rules since they don’t follow them anyway. 90% of bans there have nothing whatsoever to do with the rules.

However, I will say it’s generally good practice to read the rules in other places.

based, generally i’ll read rules if i’m ever posting actual posts, but since i comment 99% of the time, it really doesn’t matter IMO.

silent bans, aka “shadow bans”, are deeply assholeish. But being an asshole is normal now. Which is messed up.

Many of us are little totalitarian dictators just looking for a kingdom to rule. Like 10% of the population or something. Buncha psycho clowns.

I don’t think Lemmy currently has notifications for moderation actions, but there are plans to add them: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4572

But this issue depends on other issues
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2441

If you ever need to have a dialogue on any subject and want a reasonable partner, don’t worry - you can just have that morning coffee and you’ll eventually shit out better choices than the entirety of ml, hexbear, lemmygrad and a bunch of other cuntwaffles combined.

im pretty sure some of the intentionally satirically idiotic arguments i’ve had have simply had a better construction to them than what these instances tend to produce lol

Create post

“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.
