"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
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.

what does this have to do with communism
They're super horny for everything that exposes the hypocriticism of the western hegemony, such as the USA that supports Israel without questioning.
They, as always, pick a standpoint that is so contrairian that it must trigger any 'libs', so that they can launch their prosecution diatribes.
When most of the world is coming around and admits the unproportional manner of Israëls retaliation they just want to increase polarization.
Also aren't they themselves reactionaries this very moment by calling for Palestine to take back Israel?
Irredentist ethnonationalism is actually super left-wing if you say "America bad"
Israel: “West Bank was historically Israeli in biblical times, so let’s ethnically cleanse all the land and terrorize the people who have since taken up residence there in our absence!”
Tankies: “Apartheid! Genocide! Down with Isnotreal™, from the river to the sea!!!1!”
Hamas: “Israel was historically Arab under the Ottomans, so let’s ethnically cleanse all the land and terrorize the people who have since taken up residence there in our absence!”
Tankies: “Unbelievably based!!!”
Communism? Nothing.
Tanky-ism? Plenty. There is a long tradition of anti-Semitism by tanky leaders dating back to Stalin. Part of the collapse of Russia in the late 20th and early 21st centuries is due to Jews being able to escape, causing a non-insignificant population collapse and a brain drain, especially in STEM sectors.
