"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.

After someone mentioned me without tagging me on the Return2Ozma thread drama, I decided to Lemmy search my name to see what else I was missing out on. I didn't realize I was so popular with the "People who defend tankies" demographic of Lemmy! Apparently, I'm a brainrotted liberal debate lord (simultanously, without any beliefs) who hates every leftist movement in existence, is a wedge between liberals and leftists, and sees imaginary tankies everywhere.

I mean, obviously, since I've made a whole 9 posts about them, including posts on "MeanwhileOnGrad" (5 if you exclude MeanwhileOnGrad and TankieJerk), over my past year on the Fediverse (out of ~1,570 total posts). Clearly, if it wasn't for me, the leftists would have finally joined hands with the liberals to sing kumbaya together.

That's a lot of work I have to put in when all I want to do is browse politics and post history minutiae without having to worry about people advocating genocide or fascism, but I wouldn't want to disappoint any of them!

Also, apparently they think I'm Yeetpics? Which is a strange connection to make, considering our writing styles are... very different.

EDIT: And Joe Biden's strongest warrior! Wow!

I've never been internet famous before! I won't let it change me, though! Unless I start getting cash too. Maybe the CIA is hiring?

Shout out to mozz too for the honorable mention

If it makes you feel any better, I have no fucking clue who you are.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Thank you, that lightens the heavy load of fame

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Heavy is the head that wears the…I dunno, maybe a hat? Again, I have no clue who you are or what your style is like.

I thought "leftists" loving authoritarianism more than they love leftism might be the dominant wedge between liberals and "leftists?" Like if you get banned failing to praise a nominally left state capitalist nation that produces hundreds of billionaires, while your counterpart in the dialog is calling you a "genocidal colonialist cracker" for thinking it is a bad idea to allow Bibi's favored candidate to win.

I don't mean to downplay your involvement, though, I am sure it is significant.

They hate us because they anus.

At least they don't misgender you, which is nice.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

They mis-theorize everyfuckingone who doesn't repeat back their own opinions adnauseum.

Then they label you an enemy based on their assumption of your beliefs.

Tell a tankie not to incite nuclear violence and give it a spin lmao.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Misgendering would be damn low

I feel sad for the poor people who've blocked the roman memes guy. Seriously man, pug makes half the good content on this network, their feeds must look so sad

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Being known as the Roman Memes Guy and saying I spread good content on this network makes me incredibly happy, thank you! 🙏
