    The quotes around “genocide” really sells it, I think.

      That’s the “masks off” moment that kills the rest of the argument (which has a modicum of coherence, if not truth).

    Flatworm/Unruffled really falls into that anti-American trap where they start excusing other state’s imperialisms because they’re blinded by hatred.

    Many things can be true. There is a genocide of Uighurs and it is misrepresented in American media. But putting genocide in quotes is straight up denial.

    People in the US and the rest of the world have protested against Gazanand Uighur genocide and it it’s having an effect. Where are the protests in China?

      The person said that it is possible to believe both that China is authoritarian and the Uyghur genocide is overblown. The person never said that they believe that or that it was the case.

      The Uyghur “genocide”, as they put it.

      That’s some fucking mental gymnastics to avoid confronting the clear implications of what was said.

    It’s really interesting to see them take snapshots of these posts and complain/dogpile. A truly baffling cycle.

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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.

Brigading — If you’re here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from 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 permanently banned.

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.
