"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.

Accelerationism is usually championed by people that have never experienced or are unfamiliar with the kinds of hardships it will precipitate.
The downfall of civilizations is rarely a good time.
Accelerationism doesn't even make sense at the moment, if a revolution breaks out, it will be a free-for-all, with different groups trying to claim all the power. And judging by the results of the election, the majority of Americans either fully support or are fine with fascists winning. The working class has to be educated, has to have their consciousness built up before a revolution can actually go communist, otherwise you just end up with populism and fascism. It's very shortsighted thinking.
They're absolute morons, honestly. They are completely oblivious to their lack of manpower.
What do you mean?
I have been assured by several liberals that this loss is entirely the fault of 15 million radical leftists in America that decided to let fascism happen.
And there we have the core of the delusion:
They did something that aligned with you, so now you think they're ride or die for the revolution just because they watched enough pro Gaza TikToks to convince them to sit out the election.
Don't really get this sarcasm thing, huh?
Or reality. If there were 15 million leftists in America you'd know.
I voted solid blue, btw, because actual leftists, and not the liberal's delusional versions of them, understand what's at stake, unlike the great mass of disinterested and disenfranchised voters liberalism itself creates.
They think prepped for that day... rich did make them bunkers for something i guess I am still not sure how they are planning on exploiting us from within a bunker with federal government enforcing their will upon us
