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.

Hamas isnt even a ethnicity or culture, its just Terrorists that literally stated their goal as eradication of all jews, not even "just" Israel. (also people tend to forget that they declared war as the government of Gaza on 7th October during their actual genocide)
And Israel isn't doing genocide, they are just a little too reckless, but there is nothing you can do about that especially because hamas uses human shields and fights from living areas, schools and hospitals.
Describing Israels defensive war as genocide is the very definition of antisemitism. Ukraine also hits inside Russia and definitely kills Russian civilians in the process, nobody seems to get a F about that, nobody is giving a F about turkey turning Syria and the region Kurdistan into wastelands because they want to eradicate the people there. Its just important to people when the jews are involved...
Literal genocidal rhetoric from Israel's ruling government as they kill 1 out of every 100 Gazans alive before the start of the war.
Pretty sure they passed 'reckless' a while ago.
This may come as a shock, but discussions of Turkish attempts at genocide and ethnic cleansing of Kurds are actually quite a big deal amongst people who follow international politics.
You gotta need to source that claims, and by source i don't want to see you taking the numbers of the hamas propaganda ministry or their Gaza health ministry, and i also don't want to see any sources just repeating those numbers.
Pretty sure they passed 'reckless' a while ago.
Haven't seen protests regarding that... There is a difference between a discussion once in a while and the propaganda war against Israel happening, "free Palestina" protests the on day of and days after those people did a actual genocide...
You are also kinda silent about the fact that Israel is literally self defending in a war not started by them.
Is the IDF acceptable as a source? The IDF claimed 10-12,000 'fighters' killed and a ~50% civilian casualty ratio - meaning by their own estimates, back in February, they'd killed 20-24,000 Gazans - or about 1-in-100 of the prewar Gazan population.
I don't give a fuck who started it. Genocide still isn't an acceptable response. There's a reason why support for Israel started high after Oct 7 and plummeted in the following months. And it's not because everyone decided antisemitism was going to be the next hot thing.

Straight up Forgot that Gaza has just about 1 million people... Sorry for that, yeah its right.
But you putting Fighters as in Terrorists in quotes tells a story of its own.
I agree, there is however no genocide committed by Israel.
Thats not true, the "support" was very low from the start and then hamas started their very efficient propaganda campaign with the help of aljazeera, UN and "NGOs" like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International wich is still ongoing. You people play into the hands of Terrorists and i think you do it knowingly, maybe because its popular right now, maybe because you hate jews, maybe because you hate Israel or maybe because you don't understand whats going on in reality.
It never actually stopped being a big thing and many people fell for the propaganda the terrorists made. Antisemitism just started to be more obvious. There are enough people spraying shit like "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free" a antisemitic therm on synagogues or shit like "stop the genocide" or many other things, this is antisemitism, it was there before, the antisemitic people just feel like its socially accepted now.
Wich it absolutely shouldn't be, you people however help to promote this mindset, i don't think you personally do that on purpose however, i think you actually believe that there is a "genocide" and you think you do the right thing, i tell you, you are not doing good.
