The fact that they pull out two dozen links to justify the military invasion of my country by an imperial power while pretending to be anti-imperialist just makes me unreasonably angry. Like, do they have those pre-copied for quick response to anyone that tries to argue with them?
Their is a shared doc they copy paste out of.
Must be difficult to manage it, lest they mix up "Ukraine is full of Nazis" links with "Ukraine is just a part of Russia that got led astray" links
They have colour coded headings with examples of messages and their responses.
This just evokes an image from Severance of the introduction interview manual, with bookmarked example phrases and responses.
Lol no way really? That's kinda hilarious, got any other interesting tidbits?
Ya gotta love mods who have to sound off as an extra flex before they ban. What a fucking loser.
Ah ha! It alllllllll makes sense now, they saw that video 10 years ago and took notes LMAO

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.
