Oh hey, it’s Yog. He’s one of my favourite tankies. He looooves russia! That includes modern Russia. Hates gay people, trans, and Muslims, despises them, and loves Putin and his hypercapitalist oligarchy.

The strangest thing is that he’s not Russian at all lol. He’s just obsessed with it, like… unhealthily, dating back almost a decade. Definitely one of the weirder ones.

also in the future, I recommend using lemmy’s own image storage or imgchest. Imgur doesn’t embed and is generally really scummy.

Yog has a weird sense of humor. I suppose it is funny to tankies but for everyone else it just is weird.

Also the tankie community tends to idolize him for some unknown reason.

It’s because he posts about 25-50 posts a day, everyday, nonstop for… oh man… ages.

My image host of choice was imgbb until I found out that pics from there are automatically blocked on a lot of the fediverse because it was being used for CSAM. I’m not on lemmy though, so would using lemmy’s hosting actually work?

Just link to the image directly so it’s embedded, rather than linking to a website that embeds the image but also lots of other stuff

They’re pathetic.

Just look at @davel@lemmy.ml

Dude has several profiles which all deny Russia having done anything wrong, say Uighur genocide isn’t happening and yet pretends they’re not pro-Russian, while actively avoiding answering any questions, mainly “are you pro-Russian”.

Literally denies that Russia even has propagnda.

It’s genuinely ridiculous.

Oh yeah anytime I ask him (that is @davel@lemmy.ml, I know you read these but don’t have the balls to reply) I get banned from the communities he’s a mod on, for like 24 hours.

Apparently it’s “stalking” to name a user. Pathetic idiot, like everyone else like him. I just saw a very similar account from .ml (same sort of pseudopolite propaganda). Like Diva@lemmy.ml or something. You’ll also note how the like to gave pronouns in their nicks, because they think theyre being sly, thinking people’s would read it and go “well Russians arent into saying what their pronouns are, must be a Westerner”.

One thing they don’t realise is that people don’t consider themselves “Westerners” in the “West”.

They’re just all around pathetic.

Yes I have seen this tactic used before. They get triggered when factuly incorrect wall post have holes pocked by easily verifiable facts.

The dedication to shilling Russia is unwavering. But what would make an adult person do this outside of being paid?

I mean, with all due respect, tagging someone specifically to pick a fight with them where they weren’t involved is pretty rude. Even if the person is a dickhead.

Ofcourse not! I identify as NATOan

That’s fascism and imperialism for you. Everyone is an enemy and they belong to the same group. Weak and ever-present.

Well reasoned arguments. Sure would be nice if they’d have enough spine over there to try to rebut your actual points but that would make the acoustics less conductive to echos

The factual support for the ideology that forms their entire identity is thin and fragile as their ego.

Funnily enough, the person I was talking to actually was a mod of the community (and also OP of the post), but for all of their directly-from-the-Kremlin lines they weren’t the one that deleted all of the dissent in the comments. So, uhh… credit to that mod, I guess?

Create post

“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.
