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 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.

Accelerationism has worked every single time.
I love being called an acceptable loss, truly it will all be worth it when the ~~rapture~~ revolution comes.
Everyone knows the people most able to take power in the US if shit goes off kilter are the true leftists and not the batshit right wing crank militias that keep clogging up my ham radio.
They really want to make sure everybody is clear on that fine line between supporting and actively promoting, lmfao.
At this point they know they've been hopelessly infested with right wing trolls and are just pretending that was always the plan.
TBH my theory is it's 60% Chinese, North Korean, and Russian funded psyops with a troll factory and bots, and 40% hopeless dupes. It's not large or active enough to dismiss this theory, yet.

I'll say it again, but "Dessalines" is legit in competition for the most cringe person on the Internet. Not only does he say shit like this all the time, but he's draped himself in the moniker of an actual freedom fighter who overcame actual adversity to liberate actual people. Truly, the struggle from his air conditioned computer chair is comparable.

Says they dislike trump more than Democrats do then proceeds to explain why they don't dislike trump more than Democrats do.
That checks out.

Tankies love fascists
Lmao the rise of tankies in this space is perfectly timed with China's troll farm campagn to become the new boot on the neck of the world while the US deals with their fascist problem that Russia, China's ally, inflicted on the US.
unironically Germany KPD supporting NSDAP to their rise be like
Don't worry, plenty of tankies on here say "Thalmann did nothing wrong" unironically.
And tankies looove the death camps.
They want their own, but their reasons are so much better, believe them. Or else they'll put you in one.
As an American socialist who has to deal with the collapse into fascism there is no material reason for me to advocate for accelerationism
Maybe if we already had a basis for socialist revolution to save us it would make sense. But there isn't, collapse just means something worse is coming.
So socialists from other countries are cheerleading the collapse of us imperialism, which is objectively fair. But I also have to wonder how wise that is considering what I said above, the US isn't collapsing into a peaceful socialist state but instead a war hungry fascist state which does not put an end to imperialism but rather makes it more direct and brutal
Either way, tankies seem to only admire theory and countries that say they're socialist but actually aren't. If your idea of socialism does not expand the definition of democracy to the workplace all the way up, with recall of representatives where direct democracy isn't pragmatic, I don't think it's even worth considering as an alternative.
As a non American, I gotta admit that I enjoy seeing America crumbling down like this. Their ideology of unfettered capitalism has done so much wrong in the world in so many ways the past 60 years or so. From enabling coups in many countries to establish control over resources with violent pro-American dictators, starting wars over oil, ruining the environment and gaining control over the world economy, eroding people's working conditions and rights and just overall establishing this shitty system where we work two jobs and can't even afford a home or plan for a family or a decent retirement.
You don't have to be a tankie to admit the U.S. has been a shitty ally and overall a toxic country. It's about time the rest of the world dumped their ass to find someone better who will respect them.
Hopefully new alliances will form between countries with better, more progressive and peaceful values, aiming on working together for a better world.
I'm just hoping Canada and Europe can take the lead on this.
