Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(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.
Who cares about all the people he'll hurt along the way amiright? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'll say it again, but "Dessalines" is legit in competition for the most cringe person on the Internet. Not only does he say shit like this all the time, but he's draped himself in the moniker of an actual freedom fighter who overcame actual adversity to liberate actual people. Truly, the struggle from his air conditioned computer chair is comparable.
I dunno, Im no Tankie but I was filled with a certain amount of this. No one I know owns any stocks. I was very eager to see dumbfucks who voted for him lose everything, and rich assholes who supported lose something
Tankies love fascists
Lmao the rise of tankies in this space is perfectly timed with China's troll farm campagn to become the new boot on the neck of the world while the US deals with their fascist problem that Russia, China's ally, inflicted on the US.
As a non American, I gotta admit that I enjoy seeing America crumbling down like this. Their ideology of unfettered capitalism has done so much wrong in the world in so many ways the past 60 years or so. From enabling coups in many countries to establish control over resources with violent pro-American dictators, starting wars over oil, ruining the environment and gaining control over the world economy, eroding people's working conditions and rights and just overall establishing this shitty system where we work two jobs and can't even afford a home or plan for a family or a decent retirement.
You don't have to be a tankie to admit the U.S. has been a shitty ally and overall a toxic country. It's about time the rest of the world dumped their ass to find someone better who will respect them.
Hopefully new alliances will form between countries with better, more progressive and peaceful values, aiming on working together for a better world.
I'm just hoping Canada and Europe can take the lead on this.
Says they dislike trump more than Democrats do then proceeds to explain why they don't dislike trump more than Democrats do.
That checks out.
unironically Germany KPD supporting NSDAP to their rise be like
Don't worry, plenty of tankies on here say "Thalmann did nothing wrong" unironically.
