"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.

Why don't you do something productive with your time, like attacking nazis or fascists instead of the few people that are actually working on making the US more socialist and equitable.
Last i checked sanders aint waving the flag that was waved when tens of millions were made to dig their own grave and watch their children get shot and pushed in before they were, to name the more humane, chill and kinda okay atrocity on the commie atrocity tierlist.
We are. The funny thing is that you tankies are never criticising actual fascists, you spend all of your time handwringing over "liberals", while regurgitating the propaganda of fascists.
Pro-authoritarian people should never be ceded credibility, given a platform, or shown anything other than disrespect.
There’s no such thing as a good person who supports the oppression of others
Precisely why I simultaneously agree with some statements by tankies and vehemently oppose them. I'm against all forms of authoritarianism, whether that's fascist, socialist, or whatever it is both major parties in the US are. Government power should be as limited as possible while protecting the people from each other and foreign elements.
What do you think tankies are?
They are just as much fan of authoritarian police states as nazis.
"few people that are actually working on making the US more socialist and equitable."
actually got a good chuckle out of that line. i hope you don't genuinely believe that
I'm doing my part by POSTING. Are you doing your part?
Haya tocopherol! How can we Stalin your Trump?
