Inb4, the tankies come crawling from the woodwork to claim how this will be bad for the rest of the world, and we should let Russia conquer Ukraine in the name of “peace.”
It sure is strange how they’ll support Russia, despite being a crony capitalist state, on account of the Soviet union calling itself communist and Russia being a post-Soviet successor state, but not Ukraine, even though that’s also a post-Soviet state.
If they were using reason, they wouldn’t be fucking tankies to start with.
Tankies are just fascists who like the color red.
When the people are being beaten with a stick, they are not much happier if it is called “the People’s Stick”.
-M. Bakunin
China is also a crony capitalist state - they don’t exactly distribute the wealth obtained from leasing public land and operating businesses.
They and Russia share a goal - destabilizing the west, especially the US, to gain geopolitical importance and to stifle calls for democracy and human rights.
Ukraine isn’t on their team there.
Idiot from earlier today.

“Bro simply give your land to the invaders, bro, that ends it. Surely this invasion is a one-off, just like Crimea and Georgia and so on.”
Appease them harder, daddy. It solves everything!

So you managed to post the propaganda with high visibility, under the guise of being against it. Well done!
That makes absolutely no sense.
So why did you feel the need to show a post that parrot Russian propaganda?
Are you not aware that parroting it, means you are helping spreading it?Are you dense? It merely shows what the poster is talking about. How is it that everyone else understood it?
You are aware that parroting it, means you are helping spreading it.
If you mean by pointing out how stupid of an opinion it is and how it’s clearly propaganda, then yea.
Problem is you don’t do any pointing out of any arguments, you just state it’s stupid, which is not an argument.
And then you post the entire propaganda argument. How stupid are you, that you can’t see that’s stupid. Unless you actually want to spread it?
I’m sorry to call you stupid, but you started it.Idk what you want from me. If it bothers you that much downvote and move on, you know, like an adult would. Again, you’re the only one who has an issue with something that’s clearly a non-issue, lol. Too much time on your hands, perhaps?
Ironically, now you’re the one derailing the conversation. Lol
Your username isn’t the only thing that stinks in this comment thread.
Found the tankie.
Actually, you found an idiot that didn’t read the sentence that precedes the image you shared. I deserve the downvotes, because it is me who stinks
Lol, it’s cool, dude. I should’ve spaced it out more. Respect for owning up to your mistake.
If I gave your post a second glance instead of jumping straight to being snarky I could have avoided looking like an asshat.
It beats the alternative of internet strangers thinking that I’m a fascist, besides to err is human
Hey, it’s all good, man.
Or you found the sane person, who can see through a posting of Russian propaganda under the guise of being against it.
Ok, now we found the Tankie
Oh boy, you really are “something”. I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but clearly you didn’t deserve that.
Inb4, the tankies
But why? Why inb4?
This entire post is now derailed to be about tankies and nothing about the issue, which is great news for Ukraine and Europe, and for USA too.Seems to me your post is just about the perfect tankie/Russian Propaganda post to derail the debate. Maybe you think it’s clever IDK? But IMO it’s idiotic noise that doesn’t add anything.
If you took a look at my post history it would actually say the opposite, but nice try, though. You could’ve started your own comment thread if it was such an issue for you.
You really don’t see the problem do you?
You can take a look at my history too. Please scroll down a bit, and you can see I posted the Russian losses regularly on https://sopuli.xyz/c/ukraineNot at all because there are other conversations happening on the thread. You’re the only one crying about it.
Wait, so Ukraine finally gets some help and TikTok is banned?
I mean . . . sure. Yes. Yeah.
Would’ve preferred better privacy laws over a direct ban imo
China’s propaganda strategy is more of a concern than privacy (the motivation is Bejing’s control/amplification/censorship of content, not data gathering)
Yes I know, it definitely should be curbed. However, better privacy laws could still be written to disallow that type of manipulative content.
one doesn’t have much to do with the other - shadowbanning clips mentioning taiwan, while amplifying clips that divide and inflame Americans, can be done without any private user data.
Yeah that is true, and other platforms do the same things as well. It should really be fixed as the systemic issue that it is. Banning specifically tiktok means that all its users are just going to flock to another app that will do the same thing and nothing will change. There are many tiktok clones from ‘enemy states’ and allies alike that do it. I guess there isn’t a really good way to define what is and isn’t an intent to divide though.
Which other ones “do it”? (meaning, impose the auhoritarian government’s propaganda policy)?
There are so many on the play store that are from all over according to their developer info. Some from less scrupulous parts of the world than others. Likee and Bigo are based out of Singapore and do much of the same things tiktok does, but even more poorly moderated.
Oh shit y’all guys actually banning TikTok over there good 4 u
Good job Biden… screw Israel but apparently we need to grease the Republican-led Congress with Palestinian blood to get them to stop cuckolding Putin for a second.
