Simple competition gaslighting. The bigger the better.

Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(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.
They are the same. Nazis were killing people here in the US back then too, it was just covered up because it was embarrassing for the local politicians. Sure, it was more comfortable for white people to pretend there was nothing wrong, but that didn't mean people of color weren't dying.
What you're saying is you just want to go back to being comfortable. That's your privilege, you used to be able to pretend it wasn't happening. Some of us never had that option.
So tell me what race, gender and religion I am since you know me so well.
You know it's not to hard to sic an algorithm on your comment history, right? You're a white male millennial, probably in your thirties. You're American, and identify as a democrat. You're an atheist. You struggle with neurodivergence yourself, but you also like to make jokes at the expense of people with mental illness. You're a PC gamer, but it's likely you don't have a very expensive rig because you're lower class and probably make less than $35,000 a year. You're most likely living in the Midwest.
I could keep going, and probably give you your email, maybe an address, but frankly I don't want to get banned for doxing you. And honestly, I don't care who you are anyway.
No keep going.
I will say that it's pretty funny I got almost the exact same kind of output about your account except it said you have an interest in global econ and manufacturing and that, and I quote because it's hysterical, "their dismissive attitude towards alternative viewpoints could suggest a lack of openness to differing perspectives."
This is a banger as is much of your other work around here!
