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.

Racism is a system.
You're a tool
Life is a journey, time is a river, the door is a jar. Words can have more than one meaning.
But "racism" can't mean, "a thing experienced by white people as a result of being white".
I really want to ask you a couple of things:
Yes it can, because that's a form of interpersonal racism, which is prejudice towards someone because of their perceived race/skin colour. It's not systemic racism when it happens to white people, sure, but it's still racism. Systemic racism isn't the only kind of racism.
Anti-white racism is not a thing.
Yes it is. It doesn't matter how many times you try to claim otherwise, it's an objective fact that anti-white racism is a thing. White people can absolutely experience inter-personal racism. Pretending they can't isn't helping anyone, least of all minority groups. It's just denying reality for the sake of either an agenda, or your own personal feelings on the matter. How white people experience racism is different from how minorities experience racism, I won't deny that, but claiming that they don't experience it at all is just flat out lying. You don't need to stoop to that level.
White people wanna be oppressed so bad.
I didn't say anything about oppression hon, we're talking about racism.
Which white people can never experience for being white. Glad we're on the same page.
No, you're in your own little world and not paying attention, just like people who say the earth is flat and global warming doesn't exist. Saying it doesn't make it true dear.
man americans are hopeless lmao
