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.
Don't engage with Antiyanks -- DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANTIYANKS. YOU DO NOT RECOGNISE ANTIYANKS. YOU DO NOT RECOGNISE ANTIYANKS.
That's the last one. Here's how you deal with tankies spewing their propaganda bullshit
Edit 03.01.2026: wow, looks like all the comrades gathered here to spew their bullshit as well. Hey, red fascists, the CCP congress is next door.
It is always in their playbook. They are all talking about foreign agents trying to change the will of the people and how the US is the evil on Earth and it's all just a way to defend themselves - even if that implies abuse on civilians and other nations.
Wow! Just wow! I wasn't expecting dense useful idiots like you to resort to anything else than whataboutism! But equally, I wasn't expecting for you to pick such an unrelated example for comparison. Guess I should have expected though since you're so unrelated to reality. Grow a pair, you fuck!
Are you still not bored about this entire thing? Because I am. This post is already 3 days old. How much should I keep reporting your stink around this place until you fuck off already?
