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 it 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.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

This claim is literally standing shoulder to shoulder with known Hitler-worshipper Elon Musk's attacks on USAID last year. The only group that can out-conspiracy theory Hexbear and Grad is Qanon at this point.
I am sure that's true the account you replied to is in bad faith here, but the CIA has used all sorts of do gooder organizations however. We notably impersonated vaccination workers to find Osama, and made those already put upon humanitarian missions more at risk and saw increases in their killings and attacks, especially in places like pakistan that still see polio and other vaccinateable disease.
Then there was an international student democracy group back in the 80s, they recruited all of these idealists, including in Iraq, after the Islamic revolution in Iran, and the whole thing was a cia front, and they used that group to garner tens of thousands of names they gave to the baath party when they were seizing and consolidating power, in two tranches, and those people were grabbed, disappeared, tortured, murdered. I can give you a link on that if you want, harper's magazine.
Those are just to name a couple, just to make the point that there very well could, almost certainly is, some cia fuckery with this usaid organization. Using their own pervertion of the agencies and organizations to shut down chartiy work however is just more rw degeneration of society obviously I am not in disagreement rather pointing out there almost certainly has been cia skullduggery at that organization.
It's very curious how all extremists end up with the same talking points and views. The antisemitism from tankies is almost identical to neo-nazis, even posting and sharing the same conspiracy theories.
If I were a bot farm operator, that's exactly what I would do. Right-wing authoritarian talking points branded with "Leftist" packaging.
Yeah, most likely it's Russian disinformation at some level in the pipeline of extremism
