"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 as opposed to arguing.
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.

Hey buddy? They both are. Israel is why Palestine is an open-air prison. Israel is the side that keeps killing those human shields, indiscriminately, without one shred of remorse. Apartments, hospitals, refugee centers, whatever.
Maybe inviting the world's Jews to "go back to Africa" in the exact goddamn center of the Muslim middle-east was not a sensible idea, in terms of minimizing ethno-religious strife.
No country wanted to kill as many Germans as possible - they wanted the fucking war to end. They wanted to kill Hitler specifically, disrupt the Nazi regime, and go back to merely civilized levels of hating one another. Israel hasn't fucking done that, with Palestine. Mostly they've just continued bombing. They've made token efforts to claim they want a rehabilitated Palestinian state... but always alongside collective abuses like the strict blockade that obviously leaves Israel in de-facto control of the region's survival.
Have it your way.
Hey asshole - don't split hairs about Gaza versus Palestine, then freely swap between Palestine and Hamas!
For the second and final time: saying you're gonna do it is not the only thing that counts. Israel's actions constitute genocide. What they say does not matter. The fact Hamas says it out loud neither absolves Israel nor condemns the rest of Palestine.
If Palestine gets their way, they'll stop being a densely-populated ghetto amid fresh piles of rubble. Israel will stop using the actions of Hamas to justify killing X*10 number of Palestinians. Children and journalists will stop getting shot near the fuckoff enormous wall keeping them pressed against a sea they're not really allowed to use.
Human shields did not bomb Israel. Declaring "THEY" keep doing it is collective punishment - also a war crime, by the way. All of this is two sides that fucking hate each other and keep doing obscene violence to each other, and your dumb ass wants to pretend it's just a poor widdle innocent nuclear power being existentially threatened by people without consistent access to food.
In light of the edit overtly declaring bigoted superiority, reported and blocked.
Don't bother. Mindbleach has been a perpetual spammer who just yells his moronic political stances and then acts like he's superior by ignoring everything anyone else says.
We? You're not from Israel, are you? If not, then you should probably shut up.
If you don't have a citizenship, you don't have much of an input.
You'll need to chill tho
No, I'm a mod, just letting you know you need to chill.
I’ve seen your comment history, you really need a snickers bar.
