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.

It’s actually exceedingly easy to criticize Israel while acknowledging the truth that Hamas is a mafia-like oppressive terrorist organization.
No. You people aren't criticizing anyone, you repeat propaganda. Criticism would be to say Israel isn't sufficiently supplying the civilians with food and water, wich it isn't. Or that they don't get the civilians out of Gaza (wich is technically possible but would probably result in way more casualtys because hamas attacks fleeing civilians) or that Israel should do XY for the civilians when possible, that is criticism. Just speaking about numbers of deaths, calling genocide and wanting Israel to stop fighting is not just dumb, its also not criticism, its propaganda.
I do agree that Israel isn't doing enough to protect the civilians, but calling that genocide is just mind-blowingly stupid and borderline terrorism support.
You're getting downvoted because you're spewing hateful rhetoric and you are completely and utterly factually wrong from the very first concept that you had about this entire situation and nothing that you can say now can change that.
Do i seem like someone that cares about votes? Cause i absolutely don't care.
Oh and i might have hateful rethoric because i hate Terrorists. Look at my name... I can't make it more obvious, it's even written in my bio.
If you hate terrorists then what the fuck are you doing defending Israel like this?
If you hate Israel, why not just join hamas?
Because I hate hamas
Why are you hating Israel then?
Two things can be bad at once.
Because they are committing genocide against Palestinians
It may come as a shock but both Israel and the Hamas are bad and need to stop
There is no good here, only death
Can't stop laughing.
I checked your bio.
Anime sucks
Checked your profile, you suck in general.
You do realize that Hamas are shithead terrorists, not Saturday morning cartoon villains, right?
