What I find funny is that they idolise China as some form of left wing communist utopia. When in reality it’s a very conservative and hyper capitalistic society, just with tonnes of authoritarianism and government control.

Xi being too conservative is not a take many people grasp well.

Discrimination against LGBT people is rife in China. The social attitude towards them isn’t great either.

I’m pretty sure it way more than discrimination against LGBT. They are hostile to those who don’t fit the narrative and make groups “disappear.” They also don’t allow freedom of belief

I wouldn’t call them conservative. It is just plain authoritarian with communist like ideals. They lack a fair justice system and the entire economy bends down to the will of a single party controlled by an exclusive group. There are parts of China that aren’t capitalist at all and are just for people who aren’t young and able.

What ideals? In China if you’re sick and cannot pay they just let you die. At least in America they cripple you with debt but still treat you

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.
