"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 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.

Hamas is the direct result of the zionist settlements in Palestine and the incredible inhumane violence they made them suffer. Do you really think the Palestinian people can ever live peacefully with Israel, when the zionists' goal is to colonize and exterminate the nations from the whole area from Egypt to Syria, including Lebanon and Jordan? They're purposefully committing one of the most blatant genocide and the cruelest crimes against humanity the world has ever since since the Nazis.
How else are Palestinians supposed to defend themselves when they have nothing else left and no one to help them? And who's to believe whatever the media has said about Hamas when the narrative is controlled by zionists and zionist allies? All that's been said about the October 7th attack and how Hamas killed babies and raped women and what not, has all been so greatly exaggerated by zionist extremists, and also proven to be false through many investigations, that you can't believe everything that's been said about what happened. Whether it's true or not. It's a shame that innocent civilians had to die, but when these civilians are living in a violent colony and participating in that colony, they're essentially enabling this ongoing genocide. So are they really even innocent?
Surrender, negotiations and peace talks were never on the table with Israel to begin with. Violence is all the Palestinians have left against Israeli occupation and genocide, unfortunately. Whether you like it or not.
You realise this is exactly what Israeli propagandists say about Palestinians?
If you're against zionism, why would you even go live in Israel though?
Some people were born there.
🤦♂️ugh. You're right.
