As far as I can tell, this prolifically posting account has literally never posted an article that wasn't negative on Ukraine, and posts about 90% negative on the West in general. For whatever that's worth.

Well I don't believe you're real either.

[–] CapgrasDelusion@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

If this is a play on my username, I laughed.

I guess Washington Post is Russian propaganda now...

I didn't attack the source. I just pointed out that someone posting more than most on lemmy could push a certain point of view using any and all sources if they cherry pick.

Wow, that's a new one. "I can't question the legitimacy of the source so I'll question the legitimacy of the poster as a way of refusing to engage with reality"

And half the comments in this thread are from queermunist, who's all for the "just let Russia have what it wants and everything will be great" side.

The flood of Rexiters did a lot to smother the tankie presence on the Lemmyverse, but it's clearly still a strong undercurrent.

Eager to see what coping everyone switches to when it becomes obvious to Ukraine that the deal Russia offered in 2022 before the Kiev withdrawal was the best possible reality they would ever see again. Little Weimar on the Dnieper. No NATO, no EU, no Donbass, no Crimea.

Then again the epic bacon sirs will probably be given a new shiny thing in Asia or Africa to focus on.

You joined a platform founded and inhabited by Marxist Leninist and checks notes … expected them to leave. Wtf?

We joined a platform founded and inhabited by Marxist leninists and checks notes ... Expected them to not support an authoritarian capitalist country. Is that really too much to ask?

[–] TokenBoomer@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Glad you understand what America is, and why the Marxist-Leninist here criticize it. Welcome home.

No, I expected them to go hide in their little corner of it when the bulk of the population moving here turned out to reject their particular view on reality.

Whether they "founded" the platform is irrelevant, it's an open platform and they're going to be in the minority.

Edit: Oh, and since you switched the goalposts from tankies to "Marxist Leninists", I figured I should point that out. I'm specifically talking about the people who think Russia's full of awesome and manliness and crap like that, rather than being the kleptocratic mafia state basket case it actually is. "Marxist Lenninism" is just a word those people use to sound intellectual.
