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.

You've provided totally inadequate context while seeking shallow bandwagon validation from idiots. It's not logical. And, you've made a bad faith request. Yet, logic and good faith discussion are prerequisites to the study of philosophy.
The core prerequisite for participation in communist discussion is a comprehensive understanding of Capital. If one demonstrates they didn't do the reading then they'll be told to shut the fuck up so as to not interfere with classroom discussion.
I've answered your bad faith request. It's more than you deserve. You should be thankful. But, you're likely angry. No good deed goes unpunished. I'll not even see your response.
i have no more context than anyone else here lmao.
is ml a commie instance? Am i just stupid and didn't notice this? I just thought it was the other main lemmy instance. It just happened to have a lot of tankies by chance.
you're also not an ML instance user, so i'm not sure how you're answering this lmao.
ok
