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 get it, this is literally a rehash of that NYT article from a perspective critical of US and NATO. Is it not allowed to be against the US or against NATO?
Just because Elon or Putin agrees with something, doesn't make it automatically wrong. It might make it suspect but you've got a grade A western official source for all this.
What THE FUCK is wrong with you people? I get it you see Russia and Putin as the great Satan, but facts are facts. Unless you can disprove them or cast serious doubt on them. What you never should do in a tolerant liberal democratic society is to shit on people for pointing out legitimate historic facts. You're all speedrunning 1984.
The greatest triumph of Trump is that he managed to pull you all down to his level.
No, you're literally not allowed to question any part of the state propaganda. If you do you're obviously just a CCP shill bot troll and will be banned.
