    For their brand of humor, this one is actually pretty funny (and blatant so it works in text).

    But it’s very probable that it will draw comments actually advocating for atrocities

      I wouldn’t disagree normally, except that Hexbear users have a very real chance of believing that 9/11 was in some way deserved. Context quickly sours jokes which are already borderline.

    It’s almost like they’re trying on purpose to be as inflammatory as possible, I know they’re not and they’re 100% serious which makes it even crazier, I mean this is the kind of shit edge-lord teenagers say, just goes to show just how sad and immature these losers are.

        The US dropped two nukes on Japan, invaded Vietnam for no reason, instigated coups in a variety of sovereign countries and committed countless other atrocities to sustain the military industrial complex. That’s a lot more than some 3000 deaths

                Agreed, not a good thing. Abu Ghraib ring any bells?

                See? We can do this all day long but in the end the fact is that these “tactical nukes” weren’t used to take out parts of the command structure, but to vaporise not one but two major civilian population centres.

            Do you commemorate all the other atrocities?

      I don’t think you can really compare terrorist acts on a tit for tat basis. Two wrongs don’t make a right. The last 20 years has proved it didn’t really achieve much good for anyone ever, just a lot of bullshit.

      Like were the people who died in 9/11 directly responsible for the horrible shit their government did? No.

      Why was the attack not on a political building anyway?

        The Pentagon is a government building. Everyone seems to focus on the towers and forgets American Airlines Flight 77.

        Regardless, the point of terrorism is to cause terror, not necessarily to kill people who “deserve” it.

      Oh, good, whataboutism for terrorist attacks by Saudi extremists on unambiguous civilian targets. Guess this is left praxis now.

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.
