"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.

Maximal working hour: 8 per day.

And how many days per week?

10 for good citizens

20 in forced labor camps

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 15 points 2 days ago

It's not forced labor, comrade, you're free to exchange your work hours for torture sessions and reduced food rations!

Women and Men receive the same payment for the same work

That payment? $24 per year.

That's not a joke. That is the real number at the black market exchange rate.

That is the real number at the black market exchange rate.

Which is the ONLY exchange rate, because North Korea.

For anyone who like me was just confused and ignored it: They meant "literacy" but translated it badly.

This I think is the indictment of the U.S.'s public education.

I can't believe they choose North Korea out of all places

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (45 children)

They love authoritarianism, they're bootlickers, so they latch onto Russia, China and North Korea. They completely ignore real communist countries like Cuba or Vietnam.

99.9% alphabetization? This is what the USA has been missing. The founding fathers failed us.
