        Not really

        Chinese products generally fall into two categories:

        • products that require specific technical skills

        • things that are knock offs or straight up copies of foreign companies

        China has a skilled workforce that is unmatched in most of the world. The problem is the government.

        Goods that require labor but not a lot of skill such as shoes typically sent to developing nations since labor is cheap and prevalent

          They also don’t let those pesky safety standards get in the way of production. What is a worker when there is a million more?

      Pros: there is no tracking or spyware.

      Cons: wifi still sucks.

      But comrade, China is so efficient it only needed a small board. The space it just for aesthetics! (/s in case anyone needs)

      Edit: it gets better the more I look at the picture. At first I thought it was hooked up to one antenna but it’s not hooked up to any. Most likely the board just powers LEDs and nothing else. My sarcastic comment still stands though.

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.
