They’re not entirely wrong though?

The US is 1.867% of the world’s landmass, ignore Antarctica and you still have 95% of the world to see. It’s a young country so the density of historically significant things even in major cities is pretty low compared to Europe and a lot of urban development is in fact suburbs (so roads and outlets and big stores). It’s big so it’s varied but take the same size of territory and check what you get anywhere else and it’s the same thing… Heck, culturally speaking you’ll have more variety over a much smaller territory in most of the world because countries are smaller…

I made the decision to not go to the USA anymore after 2016 and don’t miss it one bit, plenty of awesome stuff to see elsewhere…

Where will you find the grand canyon or any other national wonder?

The post pokes fun at Tankie’s inability to see anything more than their ideas of capitalism, and their pretend version of communism.

“Any other natural wonder”. There are natural wonders beyond the States. More than any individual can ever see in a lifetime.

No shit.

Again, it’s disingenuous to say that any country is just roads and shops.

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.
