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.

Do they?
The tankies aren't right in the head, but I don't think they support Trump.
Yeah, they have critical support for Trump and are vocal about it
Jesus H. Christ on a corndog... I didn't realize. Their compass really is all over the place 🙂
Tankies are very simple with their compass.
West bad.
that's it, that's all the nuance they have.
can you really even call it a moral compass when it points in random directions every time it's consulted?
They do for different reasons. The MAGA are convinced he's their savior. Tankies are convinced he'll hasten or collapse the West. I think the Tankies are right but they don't have a fucking post game plan. It's like burning down your house in the middle of winter for warmth.
I think it's more along the lines that they know trump's bad for the west, so hell yeah, more trump!
