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.

On .ml, "Slava Ukraini" is considered a "fascist slogan" and will be removed. Remember that when you see them accusing someone or something of being a fascist (media.piefed.world)

The absolute numbers are on your side certainly, but you don't generally win wars by the number of deaths. For instance, the current Russian Fascists would have lost the Ukraine war by now if that was true. Also in the Vietnam War, USA caused way more casualties but completely lost the war. Both wars in Afghanistan, same thing. Latest US invasion to Iraq wasn't exactly a victory even though they killed a lot of people there.

Also, we are not yet in the phase where communists are killing nazis. We're currently in the phase where communists are de facto allied with the fascists against liberals and centrists. Like -- if you remember your history -- happened also in the 1900s before Hitler backstabbed Stalin.
