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 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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.
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 permanently banned.
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 was searching for some nonsense on .ml to post, and I stumbled sort of unintentionally onto a hilarious history of Yogthos's summary of the Ukraine situation.
First, in early 2022, he was insisting that they will not invade and it's all just Western lies. Then, he said it wasn't really an invasion, they just wanted to protect some Russian speakers in the east and maybe a little regime change. Then he said that this invasion was going great, going to achieve all its goals soon, and it was all the totally predictable result of the West's actions as all serious scholars knew. He really emphasized that all of us were going to see what a horrible thing we had had done to Russia (?) when because Russia refused to deal with us anymore, everything became triple the cost here and civil unrest in the streets, since we wouldn't be able to buy from Russia anymore.
Then, after a while, he dropped both of those ideas and just kept repeating that it was all the West's fault that it came to this horrible thing, and he just cares so much about Ukraine that he wants the West to give Russia everything it wants so it can end. After all, he has family in Ukraine.
0% making any of this up. I thought about putting together a little post for MOG showing the progression, but my motivation for these things is waning... I feel like people have got the message at this point as to what he's about lol.
