"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!

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 still don't get why they like radical Muslims. I understand that they do, but I just can't grasp the reason. It makes no sense.
their !traaaans community members should make a little visit to a nice little town in Gaza. I bet they will welcome them with warm thank you for their unparalleled commitment to the Palestinian liberation movement.
What's the phrase they like? Leopards ate my face? I bet they could add some content to that community.
Leopards ate my face, my hands, my whole body!
Somehow they get offended when you point this out
they never think that it'll be them though
Tankies operate on a very simple premise... US bad
Now that you have the basis of Tankie ideology (it does not go any deeper than this), you can move on to the next part of Tankie ideology.
If something hates the US, then that something is now good.
The oligarchical Russia where women and queers are regularly degraded? Russia good.
The hypercapitalistic China which has actual child labour and mass surveilance? China good.
The Islamic Terrorists who consider Tankie's as abominations and will actually kill them? Hamas good.
These people operate on a very black-and-white level. They are quite incapable of seeing nuance or considering the complexities of politics and society. Thankfully, they are also children and will grow out of their ignorance when they get a life.
I was going to up vote until you said they will grow out of their ignorance. Pressing x to doubt but y to hope I'm wrong
There are users in this very community who thankfully grew out of it
I'll gladly be wrong on this one then, glad to know my pessimistic outlook isn't always correct
