"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.

Y'all "antiTankies" are just as much of a cult tbh
I'm in neither boat but believe we can wall work together for a better future
Find some common ground to bring down billionares instead
I'd agree with you, if Hexbears weren't so obnoxious and cultish. First, they will hit you over the head with 20 different links on why the Tiananmen Square massacre was actually a fake, how the Uyghur genocide is fake as well, how China is the bestest democracy to ever have graced the earth and if you dare cite Wikipedia, you're just spewing CIA talking points. They are anti-billionaire only to the extend they can blame the US for. And if you won't play their little game of debunking all the drivel they throw at you, they just start to post their pig shit image. There's a reason they have it hot-linked on their instance: https://www.hexbear.net/PPB (NSFW)
So eloquently and precisely did you sum up my experience with them that I am starting to suspect you are me.
No, it's just that they all use the exact same play book
They should just enable downvotes
Oh that's what that image is, lol that's disgusting.
OK boomer
Are you seriously suggesting that if we just talk to them we can come to a compromise? Because they're absolutely not interested in compromise, that's why they're like MEGA. They are absolutely categorically not interested in anyone else's point of view, all they want to do is beat you repeatedly over the head with a big stick until you agree with them, or at least say you agree with them.
The world does not need ultra nationalists. We've had them before and they don't make things better.
Both groups can just fuck off.
This finding common ground is always better than constantly trying to dunk on people ☝️
If that ground involves claiming that the Holodomor was the fault of the farmers, then I want nothing to do with it.
Big "antifa are the real fascists" energy.
North Korea calls itself democratic, they're not. A name is just a name sometimes
whoosh
