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.

are you implying I live in Israel?
Well… it would make sense since you support its (made up) right to exist. It’s kinda weird to support only the right to exist of a specific tiny young country. Do you also support the right of Iran?
Iran's right to exist as a country? Yes
are you building up to something with these gotchas?
Do you feel getting cornered? I’m trying to understand how you are the only moderator documenting hate speech and also strongly support an apartheid ethno nationalist genocidal state. It’s fascinating no? (Well I would feel more embarrassed but that’s me, a dirty ugly tankie yk)
So, to recap: in your mind all the abstract concepts of nation-state have rights to exist like people. Totally valid. Can I create Goatland and believe it so much it has a right to exists? How does it work goatboy?
I don't support the genocide.
And why should I need to explain how nations should respect other nations' sovereignty to someone who is insistent on belittling me? also dont call me goatboy
Of course! Of course not goat. Just… lemme check…
Ah, yes zionist respectfully murdered and evicted 700.000 Palestinians from their homes during the Nakba in 1948. 🙏 Woah, now they can really respectfully have a right to exist on their graves. So brave!
So what is the part of zionism you support?
Just that Israel has a right to exist as a nation, I don't agree with their methods and I think diplomacy and peaceful resolution will always work best.
