so cute the way he edited the title, the article originally says South Korea. He legitimately made the conscious effort to change the title of an article and posted it to a worldnews community. So strange they think North Korea is a paradise, it’s really weird.

The comments are great as well, right-click to view.

How dare you use whataboutism! only I AM allowed to use whataboutism! Banned!

On a desktop where this screenshot was taken, it is likely not an OLED.

Using light mode means you can turn down the brightness significantly during the daytime and you don’t get blinded by apps and webpages that don’t respect dark mode. Setting an off-white DE theme makes it softer on your eyes, especially with the lower brightness. So it is similar for your eyes but less power wasted in an LCD panel blocking the light.

Also less IPS glow artifacts and less visible ghosting usually.

For phones, black dark mode for power savings.

Yogthos is a moron he literally posts Chinese propaganda if you ask about Tiananmen Square it’s my favorite on the Internet. If you get him to do it check out the link he provides all sources say the exact opposite it’s so funny they literally think they can just claim sources and people won’t check

edit; https://redsails.org/another-view-of-tiananmen/#fn24

this is the link he sent me before

I wouldn’t say he’s a moron. He is filthy rich though, his extremely wealthy family fled from Russia to Canada, and naturally it’s landed him a pretty cushy job where he doesn’t need to do anything. He posts 25-50 times daily, every day, for five years and that’s just on Lemmy. He posts on other sites too.

He is the bourgeoisie, and that must drive him mad. Probably explains his oddities

It’s a shame Tankies don’t have any values they stand upon, oh well, they are all harmless afterall.

Maybe not a moron, but sad. I dunno why he acts like some rethorical genius when he just evades all points people make him and instead makes up his own strawmen to argue against.

I got tired of him saying how great a country was at year X, while ignoring what happened at year Y that made the country collapse at year Z.

Wow 25 years living in here and I didn’t know that this place has been occupied by the burger state! I thought I’d at least paid dividends in burgers!

Surely if a place is occupied by, let’s say, the CCP, you can also make songs like “China go home” or “Fuck the CCP” just like tankies here have been doing against the burgerstate for the last decades, right?

I love how they claim to be the champions of the non-anglos, and yet they have no fucking clue what my family in “occupied Korea” wants or needs. I wonder if if they would have the gall to dismiss them for being “too American” or whatever even though they dont even speak English

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.
