"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, 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.

ML aren't communist. I absolutely support communists, they are 100% my ally. I wouldn't turn my back to a Leninist or trust them out of my sight. Because they are such good allies they've been known to imprison and slaughter anarchists when we stop being convenient to them.
That part. ML are just fascists in a different economic coat.
To be perfectly honest you all sound unhinged to me
That may say more about you than anything. ML aren't communist. It's just a fact. Not sure what's unhinged about that. They're aspirationally communist in a similar way to Charles Manson being aspirationally humanitarian.
The Soviets and the Bolsheviks slaughtered millions. Not just anarchist. It's just history. It's very fucked up. Especially that there are still so many that defend and lionize them. But it's just history. China has gotten better about hiding it. But they aren't different. 🤷
What's unhinged is people watching the end of the world play out in real time, and thinking we don't need a radically different way of living.
So if you find the left unhinged that leaves you as either a conservative wanting things to stay the same, or a fascist wanting to make things worse? Either way that's a problem you should work on.
