"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?
(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 it 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.
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 arguments that lack mutual agreement.
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 banned.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

MODERATORS
The numbers quoted within the article do not matter as the fact that someone claiming genocide is more interesting news than people who do not. You can't really use any news article quoting a handful of people you don't know how they sampled to make a calculation on consensus.
Now you are looking for only works published within the last 15 days only (since that is how many days we've had in 2025 so far) and you claim you are not moving goal posts. Lol.
And you change your request for a third (fourth?) time claiming it was about the UN and Amnesty international. Lol. That was literally not part of your original request and this constant goal post moving is why I refused to engage with you in this futile exercise of you lifting the football every time I try to kick it.
Remember your original claim is that “EVERY expert agrees that a genocide is occurring", something I've already proven wrong several times at this point. Take the L and let me move on with my life. Goddamn.
Hell I don't even think Israel is justified in the amount of damage they are causing, they are obviously committing war crimes, and Bibi should burn in hell. I just don't think it's a genocide.
If that means you have to stalk every thread I go to to alert people that I don't agree with you that a genocide is happening then you my friend have too much time on your hands.
Well if you're going to just pull shit out of your arse in order to make yourself look better, I'm done here.
