Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(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/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously 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. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
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.
Antisemitism is where I draw the line
It is unbelievably messed up to blame the Jewish population for something that they don't have control over. We don't need to see another Holocaust
I sometimes wonder what it's like to live with such a lack of self-awareness.
"We're not antisemitic!"
literally a sentence later
"Oh by the way, curse on the jews."
It sounds to me more that they think antisemitism is morally correct based on their aforementioned conspiracies.
Because apparently blaming the people committing the crimes isn't enough. You need to perpetuate hate against an entire ethnic/religious group, otherwise your opinion is invalid as "Liberal tears."
Anyone who looks at everything that is listed in the Epstein files and concludes, "this is why Judaism is bad," needs to pull their head out of their racist ass.
If you think Jews are actually evil, than antisemitism seems reasonable.
You specifically are part of the reason why this happens. Your continuous anti-gaza propaganda that you have been feeding on lemmy isn't helping the cause
What do you mean?
At least they are dropping the """anti-zionism""" mask now.
yeah at least the tankies don't really hide it
it's the other slippery jill stein voters that bury that stuff deep
Even without "Sarkha" this would be a textbook antisemitic conspiracy.
Bombing Iran isn't helping Israel's image
I mean, Iran and Israel have been in a shadow war for decades, and it was found that Iran was helping Hamas so they could carry out the 7th of October massacres.
The US, though, shouldn't get involved at all.
Attack Israel not jews
