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. — 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 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.

If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

Proud Boys leaders breaking and giving up information to lessen their own jail time, ie becoming an informant, doesn't mean they're an FBI plant as claimed by the morons there.

They really are just the left version of Qanon, huh?

An informant in this context is someone who was providing the information to the FBI during the conspiracy, not as part of a plea agreement.

Like the last paragraph in the screenshot says- they're accusing the FBI of allowing the insurrection to happen because they were too busy using the Proud Boys as a honeypot to bother shutting it down. Obviously the Proud Boys are still a problem, but it may recontextualize things to have the extra info about the FBi's extensive foreknowledge of the attacks.
