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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting or manipulating the post in any way, this includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be permanently banned.
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.

Trump kidnapped a head of state. If he gets away with it, he'll keep doing it with other heads of state.
Centrists are ok with setting that precedent as long as it upsets the "tankies" they hate.
how can you be centrist in a shithole like the US?
I'm not one, but from the outside looking in, it appears as though the only actual requirement is a deep abiding love for genocide.
the yanks do love their violence.
tho where are you from? since outside of the US, outside of shit stain countries, what's so wrong about centrism?
I suppose you could call me a centrist, I'm not bound to any party
I'm from the US and the deliberate worthlessness of centrists over the course of decades got us here.
Their unwillingness to oppose fascism enabled the fascists.
oh you are from the shithole. far as im concerned you're all equally accountable.
you're not doing anything to prevent fascism either
When it comes to your shores, I know you'll welcome it.
It tried on my shores, multiple times, and liberal democracy ended it each time. The latest effort was a colossal record-breaking loss. And that's even without guns.
Your country though? It welcomed it twice.
Yup. My country is full of centrists and other conservatives.
Sounds like you need more secure democracy
No shit.
in my country centrism seems to be the norm
if you say so.
take your meds
