"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
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.

Is that supposed AOC? Lmfao, I'm pretty sure AOC is anti-israel.
Also, why do they always put the younger portrait of Xi, rather than the most recent one, like most western leaders do? Like just find the Baidu BaiKe (Baidu Wiki) for Xi, and compare it to the Xi on Wikipedia...
Don't want to be reminded of your impending death due to old age, Xi? 🤔
(Like bro, just use a more recent portrait, the younger you looks like an inexperienced idiot)
She's critical enough of Israel to piss off your average zionist, but also don't want to "decolonize" it, which in many tankies' heads equals with the strawman the far-right has about decolonization.
There's a faction of liberals who hate AOC the way 13-year-olds call mom a bitch for making them go to the dentist.
I mean there is a faction of liberals that hate AOC, but the person/people who made the meme definitely aren't liberal.
IMHO the younger one looks like "average guy, not an elite", which is what I think he's going for.
AOC is extremely pro Israel. She still refuses to say Israel is committing genocide.
