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.
"Amerikan"
It's just a phase. They like the aesthetic and won't ever do anything.
dessalines be like: death to all americans is just the edgy thing kids are saying these days
Amerikans, please, or Amerikkkans if you aren't into the whole brevity thing. The branding of the phase is important. Remember, label out when you're bashing colonialism!
You mean, kind of like how Russia is currently trying to settle in Ukraine like the colonizer they are?
Or how China is colonizing African countries right this very moment in order to steal their resources?
Alright China colonizing Africa is a bit a of a stretch? you got some DD for that?
That's like when western corpo send their "executives" into a new market they are not immigrants, they are expats...
They should go back to the lands of the first humans in east Africa, before humanity colonised anywhere.
That’s about as bad as it gets. That person is unhinged!
Sooo they should go settle somewhere else? Where do they expect them to go? Or maybe they just want US to kill themselves. Hmm, maybe Hexbear isn't that well-reasoned at its heart...
It's fucking easy to virtue signal "colonialism bad". It's much harder to propose a solution that doesn't involve even more mass death of innocents. If someone doesn't have primum non nocere at the heart of their politics, they are not healing anything. They are just doing blood for blood.
Well Italy, Japan and Germany all did some bad stuff in WWII so why don't we swap places.
let's not.
It would be the source of many memes
I swear I've seen that same account screeching that it is good if Donald wins because any amount of collateral damage is acceptable as long as some number of "crackers" are put up against a wall.
Just a repugnant little internet troll. An excellent example of why defederating from hexbear is the right course of action.
If you find those comments you should post them over here
If you search their comments for "cracker" the rage is a decent portion of their content.
What I remember was basically like https://lemmy.ml/post/20607225/13895181 but specifically tailored to whether or not Donald is a threat we should all vote against.
Pretty delusional. Repub pogroms wouldn't be targeting the classic liberals this person despises. IDK who they expect will be doing reconstruction afterwards. Of course they're participating on instances where fragile mods protect ahistorical clownery.
lol that's hilarious. I'm posting that one for sure
