"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 as opposed to arguing.
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.

I'm pretty sure that was after 2006. Leading up to the 2006 elections Hamas highlighted the success of violent resistance in ejecting Israel from Gaza compared to the abject failure of peaceful resistance by Fatah. My point here is that despite their many flaws, they actually get things done, and their getting things done is a large part of why the Palestinian cause has gotten as far as it has.
Holy delusion. There has been no worse time for the Palestinian cause than now. They've been losing for 80 years again and again, and you call it success.
Uh... enjoy. The Palestinian cause is doing pretty well... other than the genocide, anyway.
First of all, it's incredibly telling that you care so much more about the Palestinian cause than the Palestinian people who are dying.
Secondly, if you seriously think that BDS is going to bring down a nuclear armed nation state, you're in for a rough awakening.
Who said that? I obviously don't want Palestinian people to die, but that's one thing and the geopolitical long-term view that Palestinians have a pretty good shot at achieving national liberation if they can survive this genocide is another.
Well as it turns out, nukes don't mean much if you don't have the weapons to arm your soldiers, the money to pay them or the diplomatic cover to prevent Syrians and Lebanese from invading after you bomb them for the umpteenth time.
