"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.

Uhhrg a user from my instance, I am disgusted
Yeah, it makes it worse somehow
For those who are interested in learning about some of the truth of Ukrainian nationalists, and how they were involved in Euromaidan and how Putin spun them up into something that was (a) Neo-Nazi and (b) definitely super important for politics in Ukraine:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_Sector
They currently have 0.00% of the government in Ukraine, and they don’t even like involvement with the EU, they just hated Putin’s involvement enough to get involved with some pretty EU-aligned politics in Ukraine which then eventually won the revolution.
Why green tag? Green usually implies something good. I marked them with red.

This reeks of protection money. At least Joey and Paulie were smart enough to wait for Vinny and his crowbar to leave the bodega before asking for a payment.
Yes Dear tankie that how geopolitics works....
Next question...
