"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
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/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously 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. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
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.

MODERATORS
Since you've linked to my post, maybe you lemmitors can help answer one of the questions posed in it:
How does that line go...oh yes. "It's not our job to educate you."
oh shit lmao burned
I mean...
It continues, but there's no value in copy-pasting a whole Wikipedia page here. Just go there yourself and follow the citations. You're welcome to dismiss whatever news articles and sources you find on whatever grounds you want, but if you want to know the reasoning, no one is working to hide it from you.
What liberal media? It's all owned by maga, but then with a name like that I just bet you're totally commenting here in good faith of course. Fuck it, I'll bite a little. How's about refusing the peaceful transfer of power for starters?
I'm starting to think Maduro was right about that. Turns out the Yanks really were trying to take over Venezuela!
Oh so he is a dictator but it's ok now. Don't get too tired carrying around those goalposts.
Trump kidnapped a head of state. If he gets away with it, he'll keep doing it with other heads of state.
Centrists are ok with setting that precedent as long as it upsets the "tankies" they hate.
Huh? Do you have me confused with someone else?
