"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.

Executing Israel on Netflix and people arguing over executing over public executions.
Executing Israeli politicians is extreme and probably correct to be removed, but I fail to see how it relates to tankies.
It seems on point for Tankies. They tend to call for extreme violent actions. For instance a while back they called for the destruction for France.
Wanting to execute people on TV seems like something normal people aren't calling for. Maybe I'm missing something. How is this not Tankie?
All tankies are abnormal and extreme, but not all abnormal or extreme positions are tankie. Unless this relates somehow to the usual tankie obsessions of "This Right-Wing Behavior Is Left Praxis, Actually", "West Bad Always", "You MUST Support Fascist States Against Imperialism(TM)", etc, I don't think it belongs here.
Well it is against Israel which the Tankies hate with extreme
Hatred for Israel is far from a tankie-specific thing.
