"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.

And Israel had no impact on that, since. Right? Oh no wait, basically everyone here agrees Netanyahu is a bastard, and has made the US complicit in a genocide. The closest thing to supporting the US on this issue is reminding voters what's on the other track of this trolley problem. (But wait, everyone agreeing is automatically bad, somehow. Gotcha!)
Some questions have these things called answers.
What you're projecting is the false equivalence between locally popular opinions and denial of the painfully obvious. Sometimes an issue sounds contentious and polarizing because the argument is "the sky is green" versus "no it fucking isn't." People treating the green-sky-ists as active peddlers of disinformation are not against objective truth. They're not trying to both-sides the color of the goddamn sky. You are. You are the one calling everyone some kind of dishonest, inconsistent, propaganda mouthpiece.
My guy, Biden dropped out.
What you're pushing here is textbook enlightened centrism. You call all ideology equally silly, to the point you think you don't have one. Like how you don't have an accent, right? It's everyone else who talks funny.
