Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse


What is a Tankie?


Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of bias)


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 or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.

Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.

If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

"[attack targeting civilians] was a legitimate attack against an occupying force."

"Innocent civilians are not an occupying force"

"When they're the people who've stolen your homes and land, they are"

Please, explain this to me. Explain to me how "Israeli civilians are legitimate targets because they're the ethnicity who've stolen your homes and land" isn't a call for genocide.

None of the sentences you've quoted mention either working class or ethnicity.

“Innocent civilians are not an occupying force”

This discounts action, as 'innocent', 'civilian' and 'not an occupying force' are all specified.

“When they’re the people who’ve stolen your homes and land, they are”

... so what the fuck other use of "the people" here is there? It can't be referring to a group of people who are performing an action, that was explicitly discounted by the prior comment. "who've stolen your homes and land", especially in the context of civilians attacked who were nowhere near illegal settlements, is referring to - and this may be shocking - Israelis.

As for working class, who the ever-loving fuck do you think makes up the majority of most civilian populations

You can lead a man to logic but you can't make him think.
