Finaly a non communist aware that the war started for actual geopolitical reasons and not just because Putin is evil. That's a rare sight around here.

Don't mind the tankie calling to much, it has become a miningless term radlibs call litteraly anyone they disagree with, just like how right winger call everyone they disagree with "woke" or "SJW". I've seen some of these clowns call anarchists and even right wingers tankies, no joke.

Thanks, being called a tankie didn't bother me. It just took me by surprise because i wasn't even saying anything untrue.

Honestly I'm learning more from hexbear and lemmygrad than lemmy.world, amongst others. I had a vague idea about the geopolitics and history of certain areas but the posts and discussions on there really shed a lot of light on that. And a lot is freely available information if you want to search for it. On the other instance they'll rather spit venom at each other than exchange information.

Ok, not everyone is bad on lemmy.world, but I've come across the most hateful, asinine users there.
