"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.

You called them Nazi again. Seriously, keep the funny coming, this is beyond amusing.
If the posts on that community weren't so damn ridiculous I wouldn't enjoy the posts here as much.
You should see the absolute garbage some of the mods say on it too, does that mean you implicitly agree with everything posted by them?
Keep on replying, it's genuinely funny to read.
You already showcased how easily you are entertained by chuckling with this community. So alright, ... Just because I say that this community is a Nazi bar and you are chuckling with the likes does not also mean that I explicitely call "them" (everyone in this community) Nazi. All I say is that this is the environment where also Nazis (and the likes) are chuckling. With you (and others, that might not be Nazis). You chuckle about an outgroup you share your disdain with. Nazis will expand their disdain to persecution and murder and you keep on chuckling. Nice, hu-ho-ha-ha. Quality character.
It's really amusing, keeping digging that hole, pretending to be above it all.
You keep calling people Nazi because they disagree with you, and then saying you're not calling them nazis.
You're on a community that thinks it's great that Russia is invading a sovereign nation and destroying and killing countless people, view must be great from that glass house of yours.
This kind of misinterpretation is what is emblematic for the people in this community.
So, show me where I called specific people or a group of people or a whole community Nazi, please. We'll go through the relevant parts together:
So, here's the origin of the term Nazi bar. Why do I say this is a Nazi bar? Because I've witnessed different forms of hate speech here and it wasn't punished, but argued over by the mods (the bartenders). So, it's clearly a place that tolerates repugnant language towards other people, does not punish the users, but accepts them as equals. So, in short, this community is the equivalent of a Nazi bar.
Here I use the term Nazi (and the over stuff) again to illustrate, that in this community there are Nazis, just like in the Nazi bar, which tolerates Nazis and over time gets infested by them. I did not call anyone a Nazi. I also did not say that this is a Nazi community. I merely said, that these kind of users exist and are accepted in this community.
But here you then proclaim that I "keep calling people nazis". Which is plain false.
So, you clearly have a problem with reading comprehension. Your mind runs wild and interprets words in a way that the sentences they're in just do not deliver. You're reacting emotionally with your own preconceived judgement. You hear, what you want to hear, not what is actually being said.
Next, show me where is this "community that thinks it's great that Russia is invading a sovereign nation and destroying and killing countless people" and show me where they proclaimed such things.
Seriously, you're fantasising, you need to realise that. Bring the receipts, dude.
As far as I have become to understand the people that are derogatorily called "tankies", because they're thought to be authoritarian in a way that is unacceptable (another discussion), they do in fact not "think that it's great that Russia is invading a sovereign nation" and they even less so think or say, that therefore they "think it's great that Russia is destroying and killing countless people". That's simply delusional. Again, bring the receipts.
And with that kind of delusion, because you only hear what you wanted to hear anyway, you come here, into the Nazi bar, thirsty for easy chuckles with your pals, not realising, that you are chuckling in a community, that's fine with having Nazis, genocide deniers, Zionists and straight up Fascists as regulars.
And now I'm here trying to tell you, that you should leave the bar. Good night.
So glad I could help.
You are incapable of understanding written language, are you? Too bad. Bye.
