"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.

bruh, we never talked about tankies or liberals, stay on topic. We‘re talking about the abhorrent nature of this very community. Are you saying you people are unable to act human, as long as there are other entities out there that don‘t do that? What kind of dumb argument is that? Don‘t you have some kind of self-efficacy?
This is not about tankies or any other funny category of people, it is sorely about the toxic nature of your community.
Why would I have to condemn anything I have nothing to do with, in order for you to grow some metaphorical balls and condemn rotten behaviour in the very community you are moderating?
„I‘ll condemn when you condemn“ - bruh, I‘m not 13 anymore, what is this dumb shit?
Why are you acting so cowardly? Show how proud you are: „We here on (group) are closet-facsists and proud of it! Fuck them (insert hated group), they are roaches and we want them gone.“ Own up to it at least, fascism is en vogue again, nobody’s gonna jail you for it. But at least be honest about it, and towards yourself.
This is the parent comment. What does it say? Does it mention tankies?
This is the comment you replied to. Who are "they" in this context?
Once again you fail to engage with the criticism, you bore me to death.
You trying to argument, that because this little fascist up there was talking about (group of people), that calling out the fascist language they used to describe said group, is off-topic? I was setting the topic in this thread by calling out his dehumanizing rhetoric. Get a grip.
Come on goat, be a bit more honest. Else we‘re done for now, because this is getting embarrassing.
