"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
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.

Ironic for a group that currently obsesses over anti-genocide to be pro-genocide;
also
Until Stalin reversed it all lol
Huh. I hadn't noticed. Which says nothing good about China, obviously, but it also highlights how a sausage-fest government does not stand out to us.

Yep, no domestic violence or sexist culture here, none whatsoever, China is a glorious wonderland of sexual and gender equality /s.
What we really need is a female let totalitarian dictatorship.

See, out of a somewhat displaced curiosity, I'd actually like to see that. Would it turn out the "same" as previous mainly patriarchic autocracies? Would it collapse? Any interesting policies?
Ask Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina was widely considered to be an autocrat.
I'm guessing it didn't go too well?
To put it mildly. But what are few massacres and disappearances between friends.
And in democracies you also have examples like Thatcher. The problem with the patriarchy is the patriarchy in general, not the genitals of the person in charge.
be the change you want to see
im not even going to touch their disdain towards imperialism while also praising modern-day china. i'd drown in the irony. Quick, someone, throw me a buoy!
