Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
(caution of bias)
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 or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

Prolewiki curiously runs a severe deficit of citations. The references list on any entry is tiny.
What's hilarious is that they claim Wikipedia is CIA propaganda, when their own article on gulags cites... The CIA.
Someone make it make sense, please.
I love how almost all of their sources come from fake news sites.
Comrade, are you saying that https://stalinistkatyusha.wixsite.com is not a reliable, unbiased source? To the gulag with you.
Why am I disappointed that site doesnt exist?
Someone needs to buy the domain and make it into a web 1 style shitpost. Just a background video of a katyusha firing with soviet march nlaring and a dancing stalin jpg.
These people who are allergic to grass really love an echochamber
Yakub is a few decades old at this point. Its just a black supremacist myth. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakub_(Nation_of_Islam)
It’s a good thing I ignore what stupid cults thinks. Thanks for the link though, it’s entertaining.
Okay, but what about a smart cult?
Cause getting piss drunk with a Dionesian Cult sounds like a smart (and fun) thing to do. Just hope you dont get dismembered.
Personally, I prefer stupid cults of another nature. Praise "Bob" and St. Stupid! Chaotic cults are cool too, hail Eris.
Babe babe wake up, new white people lore dropped
This isn't "new." This is Farrakhan bullshit from the Nation of Islam, iirc from the 70s. Iirc he also says he has a UFO or some shit, dude is batshit, and idk why I am seeing an increase in people spreading their segregationist rhetoric but frankly I don't like it. Playing right into the culture war.
And they have the gall to call us racist

Idk who "they" are, but this seems troubling.
tankies
That fake myth might just be older than tanks, let alone tankies. The guy who pulled the story out of his ass certainly is, at any rate.
