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 it 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.
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 arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously 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 banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

Do you have any better evidence for the Palestine stuff? This incredibly biased and lacking article isn't particularly conclusive.
I can get back to you, mass graves of people with organs cut out was reported in the guardian originally, and the intercept. And it's not going to be conclusive, what we know is they cut organs out of people they executed, not just here but elsewhere. Anyone paying attention knows their mind n this, same as anyone paying attention would have known the NSA was grabbing every piece of data they could get their grasping hands on pre snowden revelations. Who is going to stop them?
But I can try to find the links later, as I said, the search engines don't work anymore, they don't even try to return what I ask for anymore, I type the intercept in quotation marks and it gives me zero intercept articles. Or the guardian and it will give me an obviously wrong gaurdian article. Search engines aren't the arbiters of truth, we better hope not.
Well alright, let me know when you find them.
But if you can't find them, have you considered it may be misinformation?
Reported in the Guardian, and other publications, no, it's not misinformation. How convenient everything that makes Israel look bad disappears from search results and is labeled misinformation by people that trust search engines.
or you could be wrong
I could be, but I'm not.
