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 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.
Praising the man who killed your past queers and jews. total insanity.
Lesbian, Jew and Trans?
Yeah fucking right. Nazi neckbeard larping more like that's too damn on the nose. Missing "Satanist" in the mix too.
Please don't question gender identity. Either edit or delete your comment.
Narrator: it was actually a 14 year old idiot
The combined age of hexbear is about 45.
Even the MEGA lot are amusingly insane. But hexbear posters always strike me as just fundamentally uneducated quite possibly because their voices haven't broken yet.
It's quite uncanny how they can cite a bunch of random socialist essays, but are completely unable to contextualize them within a boarder political science framework.
It's so easy to recognize, because I legit remember going through that phase as a teenager where I would lecture my AP history about the most recent Chomsky chapter I'd read that week, while he patiently waited for me to finish embarrassing myself to quiety demonstrate I had no idea what I was talking about. So far this has been basically every interaction I've had with hexbears.
I think everyone goes through a communist phase
