Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(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.
Ah yes, the checks notes Islamic Resistance Movement is famously progressive which it displays by imposing the Hijab in a region where it's not traditional, prohibiting women from participating in sports events and banning music festivals as Haram (even before they were murdering festival goers in Israel). I'm pretty sure they have a very reasonable position regarding homosexuality. /s
Wait, let me bombard you with 16 quintillion articles about how U.S. citizens are actually homophobic. Now that you understand your place, why exactly is homopbobia from Hamas bad? Oh, also I'm trans btw.
"You only think Muslims are homophobic because you haven't read enough Lenin. Hold on my mom needs to use the computer"

Yeah, like 75% of us Americans support gay marriage (though admittedly only 45% support gender-affirming care)
This sums up the actual situation gays face in Palestine, not even Israel the so-called “only gay-friendly country in the Middle East” has done anything for them (and even enables their plight)
90% of Muslims in Muslim countries are theocratic, they literally want to kill Gays.
Average Islamism Apologists anyway.
Some believe it's islamophobic to point out how the Middle East treats its queers. They're strange.
I mean it is, gays have a Islamophobia because they don't want to be killed. I think thats like arachnophobia...
A phobia is a fear after all.
Hey now, it's not just LGBT. It's also:
Christians.
Atheists.
Women who don't wear the right hats.
Jews.
The wrong type of Muslims...
I’m vividly aware of that second one, as an atheist. On social media I’ve seen posts by atheists who were once Muslim, they told such depressing stories of hiding, of trying to save up to move to Western Europe or North America. Gays too, and for them it’s even harder since all it takes is hungrily eyeing one cute guy by mistake for the game to be up as they prepare to run. And in college I once met a gay from Saudi Arabia who quietly deconverted (became an atheist) from Islam and later escaped to the US using that university (hopefully he has citizenship, a green card or something), I once overheard him talking about how scared he felt around followers of his former faith.
Yeah I wish we'd drop the whole phobia thing and just call them bigots.
It makes them sound like a victim when in fact they are creating victims by being a giant piece of shit.
The Muslims would be the bigots in that case...
You cant call gays bigots for not wanting to be killed... And they aren't the assholes in that situation either way.
Not all Muslims are homophobic.
Hating someone because of their religion while ignoring their personal beliefs/interpretation is bigoted.
Homophobic people are very clearly bigoted.
These people live in a fantasy world
No, they live in our world sadly (you instance admins are amongst them btw...)
No fucking way...
Look into the sidebar, knowing such wording they will ban you for saying you don't like Muslim terrorists killing Jews. At best with "Genocide denial" or "both siding genocide" as reason, or just without reason.
They literally deleted my account for having a account on another instance they don't like.
Sorry where is this? I don't see any of it on dbzer0
Ok, i might have misread the modlog and it was a ban on Lemmyml...
(oopsy doopsy)
The modlog is awful...
It's okay. Fun fact, the Lemmy Developers (admins of lemmyml and lemmygrad), have this community specifically banned. No other community on any other instance has this sort of treatment :)
I know, they literally implemented a feature asked for by many instance admins and keep it for themselves... They are assholes. The .ml bubble in general is a shitshow and lemmy world sucks their dicks as well...
The devs will crash themselves soon. They hate how LIBERAL their precious lemmy has become.
Eh, since its open development i don't see much of a problem, the most of it is already done by others.
Soo... no dice?

What do honor killings mean?
Killing, typically women, for bringing 'dishonor' on the family. Such as through adultery, religious conversion, general non-conforming behavior, etc.

It's part of the Imperial Core and Manufacturing Consent to Exploit the Global South
