He called me a setter and a nazi out of the blue, and I asked him if he slanders everyone or if he has a reason for saying that about me, then he replies with this legendary quote:

If you’re Amerikan, then you live in the bowels of the single most brutal settler-colonial entity to exist in the modern era. “Settling” is not a once-and-done action; it is a constant state as long as you are on settled land.

Lmao, these pricks are actually hurting their own base by alienating themselves so hard.

Sucks to suck 🤷

They swear they aren’t a far right false flag / psyop, but why do that work for free? The first time I encountered them was enough to conclude that democracy was the worst idea in human history.

Ethnic cleansing and ethnonationalism is okay as long as it’s anti-West, clearly.

There’s a lot of validity to pointing out that colonization is an ongoing process. Just ask any native tribe that’s lost their fight over sacred lands so some jackass oligarch can pump oil the short way.

I’m not sure “ethnically cleanse all people with European blood” is the answer.

I agree, it’s just, you know, “White person living” isn’t “continuing colonization”. Shit like the Dakota Access Pipeline is continuing colonization. Seems to be the issue with a lot of tankie takes. They find an actual issue that needs to be fought, and proceed to get nearly every detail of it wrong.

It’s because their legitimate anger gets harnessed by bad actors.

The whole settler thing is never going to resonate when you’re accusing someone whose family has been there for generations of being complicit.

I understand I benefit from colonialism, but my hands are kinda tied! I It’s like I don’t even own property the super wealthy are the real colonisers! We mostly went from beneficiary to bystanders, to victims as well. And I call out genocide every chance I get but to the hexbear I might as well have done the atrocities myself…

Just do the best you can with the power you have.

Nobody wants to heart this, but: All of the abuses of power on the large scale are personal issues that have continued, unresolved, into the large scale, because we haven’t resolved them on the small scale.

Do your part. Process your shit. Through that, you gain the perspective to use what power you do have well, without fucking yourself or others over in the process.

Yeah when I joke with my native buddies about the whole “stolen land” thing (which absolutely white colonizers stole land from natives in Canada) I’m always like “well boys, they didn’t give any to me and my family, because we still don’t own shit.”

The working poor are part of the victims, we aren’t part of the victimizers. Myself personally, I wouldn’t shed one single fucking tear if all the generational colonialist pigfucks had to return all the land they own to native Canadians.

Welcome to MoG!

Meanwhile On Grad

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse


What is a Tankie?

Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of bias)


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 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.

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.

If you’re violating instance rules, you’ll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.
