Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of bias)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules.
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 or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism -- Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.
Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

Yeah I don't buy into that conspiracy but it doesn't seem banworthy either.
Personally I've recently unsubbed and blocked all .ml communities
Lemmy.ml taught me that there's no difference between a Tankie, and Evangelical, or a Sovereign Citizen. All have discovered the magical words that keep them from being responsible for their own behavior.
There are some differences, but also the similarity you mentioned.
One thing worthy to note though imo, tankies are evangelical. They are literally evangelists, literally evangelising their politics. Evangelism isn't limited to christianity. Definition #2 of evangelism is "militant or crusading zeal," they clearly fit that since they want to line up "only landlords I swearsies" up against a wall and won't shut the ever loving fuck up about it.
To be fair I'm a linux evangelist, so I can't talk too much shit, but at least linux is not "shooting people in the head" so I think I'm a little better.
I take your point but was really referencing a specific but loose group of Christians in the US.
If you trace the unbroken chain of bored trolls back from .ml you see the path goes through a TON of social media groups that have died out. You can go all the way back to CTH on Reddit and even earlier to some groups from Digg.
Makes it hella easy to clean your feed when the shit congregates and isolates like that.
