"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
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.

Israel wants them dead or gone so they can have their land.
Religion is what they use justify their lack of humanity, but its simple greed and depravity that motivates them to abandon it.
Exaclty, it's not a complicated cartoon
Strange way to evoke Israel's motivation to starve Gazans by pointing to the religion of the victims.
True! The absurd misdirect almost makes the joke clever, in an underwhelming kind of way. Bit of a groaner really
lmao, the thing you're insisting is the subject of this cartoon is literally not present in it.
You're right. If you don't see it, it's not real. I can't change that.
Go ahead and point to the character in the cartoon that's meant to represent israel. I'll wait.
I don't understand why you act like an authority on the author's message if you can't see Israel's presence in the bombed out landscape, the dead under rubble, and the starving men, women, and children.
You said yourself, these are Isreal's crimes against gaza and its people. If you really need labels and caricatures, maybe ben garrison is more your speed.
Even in the most charitable reading, Israel's atrocities are only the backdrop to what is objectively about Arab Muslims and Islamic practices specifically
It isn't israel slapping the hand of a starving Gazan, it's a Muslim woman in Islamic dressings.
You dont have to be the author to see that they've left israel out of this drawing
Sure, only have to be dishonest or ignorant to disconnect the circumstances from their perpetrators.
Bud, that is literally what the cartoon is doing, Jesus christ.
Good job for seeing past the cartoon i guess but you're hallucinating commentary that isn't there lmao.
This is like when Musk thought the 'machine' in 'Rage Against the Machine' was supposed to be communism lol
That's fine. If you don't understand how Israel affects Gaza, I can't make you.
