"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, 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.

I despise this tendency of online lefties. What we're up against is so huge and so faceless that they tend to just lash out at any little piece of it they can reach no matter what it is or even if that piece is victimized by that system too. Even if that piece they can reach is on their side. But they'll dress it up in purity tests and how those people need to do better. It's their fault actually.
More of us need to keep in mind the words of the late Michael Brooks. "Be ruthless to systems, be kind to people."
a massive insecurity complex that creates a massive moral superiority complex, fueled by simplistic narratives that don't reflect a complex reality and where reality is rejected in favor of a morally pure world where they are the only source of goodness and all other people are evil or enablers of evil. also being totally allergic to facts, common sense, and any possibility that they might be wrong.
not any different than the MAGA supporters
they are actually worse to each other than anyone else. constantly witch hunting for who is the most idealogical 'pure' and who is a 'traitor' to the cause. they are all mini-Trumps wannabes.
Aren't corporations people? And didn't people decide to make corporations people?
Which people do we need to be kind to? Which systems, that are also people, do we need to be ruthless to?
Find me one actual human leftist that thinks corporations or institutions are people. I'll wait. 🤡🤡🤡
It's cute that you think that I was talking about just lefties when typically only idiotic right wingers buy that bullshit.
Can you show me in my post where I used that term? I will also wait.
Ah well, you're trying at least...
Honey, you responded to a comment talking about a tendency of "online lefties" that ended in saying "more of us" meaning lefties need to keep in mind the words of the late Michael Brooks, A LEFTIST COMMENTATOR.
YOU might not have been talking about lefties, but the conversation you inserted yourself into was. So you walked into the Wendy's and are getting mad that they won't serve you a Crunchwrap Supreme. Fucking clown thought he ate with that. 🤣🤣🤣
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the main character of the game.
