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 argument.
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. 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.

MODERATORS
Could be any, they are not so different from each other.
The Office meme with the caption “They’re the same picture.”
It’s because tankies are conservatives. They just got lost and ended up adopting the conservative propaganda of a different country instead of their own. But it’s the exact same psychology and a lot of the same ideas event.
Guess
- conservative
- tankie
- conservative - could be tankie, depending on context
- tankie
- conservative
How'd I do?
This game is hard because fascists all say the same shit.
Leaning towards 4 is a tankie, the other four couple really be either or.
whys that
They also love to argue with the same tactics, gish gallop and all the 'right wing playbook' things.
Horseshoe theory
These are some comments taken from a conservative community and from hexbear. Can you guess which one is which?
Excellent idea, please do this again sometime.
3 and 4 tankies?
2 and 5 are tankies?
close!
1, 2 and 5? I don't think I ever saw a tankie saya trump derangement syndrome.
Edit: Wait, two are supposed to be tankies, so this doesn't work. Damn, this is hard!
1 and 5 MAGA, the rest Hexbear?
Or is that a trick and it's all hexbear? Wouldn't even surprise me =D
There are two tankies, the rest are conservatives
Either way, idealogues of any stripe can fuck off.
