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.

They seem to dislike france's freedom of speech and their anti-islam stance.
... No, it does not make sense. I don't have a clue.

"Critical support" is a fundamentally reactionary concept so the tankies newest thing is that they love Islamic fundamentalists simply because they are in conflict with the West.

Degenerates.
What does that mean? Do they actually want Charlie Hebdos, as in people that aren't scared to make irreverent cartoons of Mohammed? Or they want people like Charlie Hebdo to get the same response from the Muslim community? There's a difference.
I too am intrigued why tankies would support islamic fundamentalists murdering leftist french journalists... Doesn't add up... My only guess (beyond the general mental illness tankies display) is that French colonialism fucked up cultures around the world for centuries — across south America, Africa, and Asia — and they still hold political and military control over a few of them... But why cheer islamic terrorism? Why cheer the murder of leftist journos?
This sub should require links to the offending thread, so users can view in context. Otherwise this could've been posted anywhere. I'd expect this screenshot from the likes of Truth Social.
Tankies are very simple things. They operate by US bad
If something, like jihadists, says the US is bad, then the Tankies will support them.
until....
BWARK 🔪🐔

I also am not allowed to link to the content. I also don't link to it because then they can edit or change the content.
I was going to reply but yeah you said it
Gradbears would see a group of Taliban gangraping a 6 year old and say it's all on US voters for not breaking the status quo
They're leftists but not the right kind of leftists. That makes them deserving of being murdered in the tankies' eyes.

They want to kill -- Or rather, like classic rich college kids, they want others to kill for them. They will thankfully never do anything violent, all bark.
(Well, actually, watch out for them IRL on a smaller level. They very well may be violent, abusive people that will hurt you, or participate in SLA style politicial violence, it's just that no "revolution" is ever going to happen.
And before someone says it, no I didn't say they all are, just that they can be.)
I've seen what they look like. They're not particularly strong men, really flimsy, actually. Riddled with anxiety and insecurity.

My favorite is when I'm operating off the assumption that a specific tankie user is just a disillusioned member of the working poor, and then they make some casual comment outside of a political thread and reveal that they're an able-bodied white cishet married homeowner with two incomes, both six-digits, and they're lecturing others on privilege. Like, fucking what? I'm fucking sitting here counting my calories when I buy groceries so I don't lose weight, I'm quite literally sitting under a leaky fucking roof with a bucket on the floor to stop it from soaking the carpet, I'm sitting here wondering if I should blow my fucking brains out if healthcare reform is rolled back in this country, I'm sitting here worried about non white-passing members of my family in a white nationalist fascist society, and these bougie (in the colloquial, not Communist, sense) fucks are telling me that my politics are coming from a position of privilege?!
Some of us actually have something to lose under a fascist regime, like our fucking lives, and these twats swear up and down that the suffering of Minorities and Poors(tm) are the gateway to the revolution. Other than having zero fucking evidence to back that up, considering the level of suffering inflicted on societies worse off than the West's without even the murmurs of revolution, it's real fucking easy to sacrifice someone else's life for your goals - and of course, those goals being not utilitarian, but simply to achieve some sense of self-satisfaction at 'opposing' the 'Imperial Core' or whatever the fuck the buzzword of the week is.
It's absolute insanity.
Thankfully they hold zero power and zero political sway in the real world
1000 pretentious leftist magazines would be WAY too many
