Time to collect my paycheck I guess 😂

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.

I don't hate China, I hate CCP. The CCP ruined my former country so I had to flee.
Similarly, I hate the republicans and establishment democrats, it doesn't mean hate the USA, the values of Freedom (that are constantly violated by the government).
Liking China is not being a tankie.
赵紫阳 (Zhao Ziyang) loved China was a patriot who seeked reforms, but was purged by the CCP, because he dared to have a peaceful talk with the students. The students at 天安门广场 (Tiananment Square) were patriots who love China and peacefully attended a demonstration seeking reforms and seeked a better future for China. These are people who actually loved China, not people who shill for the government all the time.
Similarly, liking the USA does not make you a maga/nazi, you can like the ideals of the US, Freedom and Democracy, while being against the US Government.
