"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(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.
Bonus mocking 'liberals' for not understanding the Fediverse whilst not understanding the Fediverse
The flag is a shinning symbol of imperialism, zionism, authoritarianism, and fascism to the rest of the world but represents honor and freedom in the US.
No other nation holds the entire world hostage and abuses everyone like the US does. If there really was an enemy of the people of this world the US would be it.
From constant war mongering to catastrophic environmental degradation the US can't stop winning.
zionism
explain
The US supports zionism through its Christian movement that believes they are helping to fullfil biblical prophecy by supporting the expansion of Israel.
that sounds insanely conspiratorial
It is insane? Or you are ignorant.
So you mean parts of the US population instead of the US government?
Did you miss the part where the US government has given almost 200 billion dollars to Israel?
Not to mention a majority of our Senators and Congress critters receive regular donations. Trump has received over 200 million dollars from them.

So no, not just the "people" which implies the government is not in on it. I guess ignorance is truly bliss.
That's sounding insanely like the Zionist Owned Government conspiracy theory
Sounds like your trolling trolling trolling, go hide! Get em out round em up GooO HIIiidde.
For someone who hates tankies you sure act like one. I guess all trolls really are related.
I can't allow antisemitism in this community per instance rules
lol i like the mocking downvotes while they ban dissent
such hypocrisy
My comment from the crossposted comm:
Late reply, but I just wanna say: Americans helped out a lot during my home country's defence against japanese imperialism, and in 1945, the US swiftly put an end to the atrocities throughout Asia (which had been happening for a decade, or probably longer), committed by the imperialist japanese army, by using the US's new weapon (I do not condone the civillian deaths involved btw, but there were no alternatives). Sure, Americans have their own dark history, but the USA is nowhere near as bad as the literal nazis. Americans helped save my homeland from total destruction. (And yes, USSR also kinda helped, so I guess kudos for that, but then... later on they kinda were trying to force China into the USSR, so... that ain't cool...)
