"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.

Reality is that Biden was the most liberal US president ever. You really can't blame him, he was about as liberal as would be allowed for a US president at the time. Yes, he was bad for Palestine but when the top democrat schumer is a rabid zionist dog, supporting israel only half-heartedly was really the best Biden could get away with.
(Was he still center-right compared to like UK or Germany? Yes, of course. But still more liberal than Obama, who was more liberal than Bill Clinton. Clinton was pretty much a staunch conservative, slashing welfare spending and corporate taxes+regulation. Clinton only appeared liberal while campaigning in poor urban centers. He could also be given some credit for "dont ask dont tell" which was marginally better than the previous policy of seeking out LGBTQ+ military members and discharging them dishonorably.
Maybe Carter was most liberal actually but he was also somewhat ineffective or at least unpersuasive to get liberal policies into effect. Nixon was also one of the most liberal US presidents in terms of overseeing the creation of the EPA and improving relations with communist China, but otherwise he was pretty conservative.)
