Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of bias)
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 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.
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.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

relax. even if that were the case, it doesn't mean anything. nothing is going to change as a result of their hyperbole, serious or not. and in all likelihood they're just blowing smoke for the fucks and chuckles. nothing is going to come from any of the shit any of us type on these random barely noticed message boards frequented by less than a hundred or so people spread out across several continents.
it's not like spez is on lemmygrad. you've got several threads going about this. if you really don't like them that much, block them.
Hate speech and extremism must be condemned whenever it appears.
ok, but i don't see any hate speech here. calling someone a "CIA shill" or "braindead cavemen(also known as liberals)" is pretty common political discourse these days. it's lame and anyone saying that shit shouldn't be taken seriously, but it's not attacking protected classes or anything. to my knowledge, that doesn't fall under any definitions of hate speech that i'm aware of.
it's just tribal cheerleading. boring derivative. but somewhat accepted, even if poor behavior.
Really? You haven't seen the other posts on this community?
