"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 — 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 banned.
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.

Anyone crying about nato and specifically citing the ukrainian azov battalion. Is almost certainly a Russian Z Nazi or supporter of them. It's an easy way to identify them since it's an oddly specific combonation of groups to hate.
And for the record. Azov never would have existed if russia didn't start a war against Ukraine in 2014.. eat me
OK. But nobody invoking them now is all that concerned with that.
Personally I got a kick out of Gravel Institute posting a video about Nazis in the Ukraine military talking about Azov shortly before Russia attacked in 2022, and then pulling it down shortly afterward because more or less their exact point was now considered to be Russian far right propaganda. Just such a beautiful example of how things like that can change.
Reads like a wall writing in a lunatic asylum.
I've always said extreme ideologization is equivalent to a psychotic disorder. It'd be quite fascinating to study if not for the extreme danger it entails for all of us. Vatniks included.
I'm referring to you and your need to get some help. Sooner rather than later. Political ideologization is as much a product of individual psychology as it is a product of surroundings.
Your username suits you. Suits the world, I guess.
You're telling people they need to be cleansed.
No country on earth resembles nazi Germany more than the russian federation. They are objectively a fascist. Racist. Imperialist warmongering mob state.
The fact that you take the fascists at their word when they simply claim they're against nazis... while displaying direct comparison Everything they say and do. Just proves you sympathize with them and aren't worth talking to about this topic
Pro tip. Russia considers "nazis" to be anything that opposes Russia. End of story
Take your meds, man.
