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.

Mind you, this is a Democratic Index. While Cuba does have more rights for its citizens, it still lacks democracy.
I love it when Hexbear can't keep their own talking points straight.
The bottom one is my fave.
"You said this!" "No, I didn't!" "YOU'RE A TROLL!"
You know it's a healthy environment for discussion when the community has specific language to shut down users that are merely defending themselves from baseless accusations.
I always like t remind readers. Any ranking of scoring system will be flawed and you may have wanted a different method. There is no way to please all edge cases and all opinions. It’s why we needs multiple independent agencies with different opinions.
That's what the indices are. They're a collection of different organisations, some for-profit, some state, some non-profit, all pooled together.
All models are wrong, some models are useful.
I wish 🥲
If he's an immigrant with golden visa, I can see why he would think that
Yeah, I don't understand how anyone can think that Portugal is one of the better functioning countries in Western Europe.
