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.

I have seen dimwits literally try to claim Dems are responsible for Dobbs because of timing. Perhaps they are the reason why people are reacting strongly to what you wrote.
I see them blaming the Democrats for what they did. Overturn Roe vs Wade? Dems fault for the letting them do it. The mental gymnastics they do along with having the goal posts mounted to a Bugatti is amazing.
We only use the finest Bugatti Goal Posts in the Republican party.
They’re just making up bullshit
They don’t actually believe that Dobbs was the Democrats’ fault, any more than the Republicans actually believe that Trump was a genius at international politics who got the best of China and fixed the Iran deal. They’re just making noise with their mouth, like the kid who always wants to argue about the rules and everything always needs to turn out his way and every call is in his favor or he’ll make a big stink about it.
Yeah I edited comment for clarity...not sure if I just poorly worded it, if I stuck a nerve (seems unlikely?), or if sarcasm just doesn't go over a series of tubes very gracefully 🤷
