"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?
(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.

You bet, bud. The US is the reason for the disinformation campaign. The US is always involved in the imperialist game. That’s not whataboutism. You have these feelings due to the US. It’s not even difficult to sift through the shit. You’re lazy.
Spicy take! Let's see the damning evidence, this'll be tasty!
Yes, that's the spicy take, repeated.
?????????
If you happen to be on a troll farm in Russia, you're in grave danger of being sent to the front, if you can't pull your propaganda game together.
You are awful at this.
The U.S is absolutely involved in imperialism. That shouldn't be a spicy take whatsoever.
and THeREfORe, tankies are good!
I've got news for you sunshine. As horrific and imperialist as the US is, you have zero capacity to benefit from the contrast effect.
You don't get it. If lemmy.ml, the clowns who run it, and their flying monkeys are the de facto voice of your cause on social media, you're fucked.
No. Tankies just support the other empire.
There’s so much to cite.
There’s plenty in here though.
Ask Dessalines what they think about trans people
huh?? source?
What is this, whataboutism?
Nah not going to deny the US has engaged in imperialism for as long as they’ve been capable of it, but your source is an asshole.
A github repo is an asshole? It’s just a collection of western accomplishments. You must be proud.
Ok now you’re just being obtuse
You're definitely in danger of being sent to the front.
Sources are cited. Don’t like it?
You haven't cited any sources. You have linked to your own mod. You guys are so far up your own assholes it is almost unbelievable.
Sources are cited throughout the repo. Not following?
Your content is crap, but who cares.
I'm stating that you're fucking awful at boosting your cause.
As in, you inflict direct harm to your cause, through your absolute crap delivery.
Worst. Ambassador. Ever.
great argument you won
Wow are you dumb.
I'm shitting on sub-par trolling. The entire delivery system sucks ass.
I will read tankie garbage with the identical enthusiasm as reading MAGA news sources about how good Trump is.
Shut your yip yap. Unless your goal is to make people hate tankies, because you excel at that.
No don’t cry comon… it’s okay if you can’t read.
You do understand that you're the left's equivalent of a cap wearing MAGA drone, right?
Did you look at the content? The fruits of capitalism are worth reading over. I’m not boosting a cause, I’m shitting on the west. It’s a shit stain on this planet. You simpletons are so easily manipulated by the ruling class.
Weak.
You're like a Flat Earther or Sovereign Citizen with respect to both your material, and your ability to make it palatable.
You’re just making random statements at this point. You’re not making any sense. God bless America. Keep fighting the good fight.
You mean a series of accurate statements about the shit you peddle, and your skill-set to do so.
Watch the world-famous mental gymnast as they attempt to perform a complete mid-air double-backflip while walking the titerope of prescribed ideology!
Wonder in amazement as they spiral ever downward into the pit of whataboutism!
See them engage in direct ad hominem attacks!
Laugh at their foibles as they recite CCP propaganda for your entertainment!
As not an american (there are quite a few of us) I find it extra funny with new layers of silly. Like I am somehow supposed to lose if america is mocked? Like if your not down with the CCP your waving a small american flag?
Making the whataboutisum comment attacking the usa is great as well since it demonstrates a form of american exceptionalism that they think everyone also believes in. And if they want to refute that they will have to defend america....
Gold.
Can you imagine having an entire country living rent-free in your head, all the time?
I think you meant to say clown not lazy
