    Ah yes, the famously communist Russian Federation. The RF is nakedly an imperial fascist regime that doesn’t even have communist window dressing, it boggles the mind that self-proclaimed communists and anti-imperialists support them.

      RF is a Cult of personality, pretending to be a Mafia, pretending to be an empire. pretending to be a gas station masquerading as a state.

    Oh that guy. He spends all day on Lenny pushing pro-Russia and pro-Chinese propaganda. It’s probably his job. I’ve asked him to hook me up with extra work, but no leads yet.

    Yogthos is either a fully paid professional propagandist or a highly skilled amateur. Probably the latter.

    I’d call him(?) the single worst person of lemmy for the reason that every time he speaks of things that have nothing to do with politics, he seems like an absolutely cool dude. I remember even that in the first weeks of Russia’s aggression on Ukraine, he was being kinda somber and realistic about it. But then The Message somehow reached him and he started spouting Russia’s propaganda at full blast. He’s clearly intelligent and literate while doing this, which is just doubly sad.

    In him, Communism has completely ruined a perfectly good person, and it’s a tragedy every time it happens.

    That dip couldn’t find the freedom he is “fighting” for if Marx drew him a map with directions.

      Yeah, the reason he’s so happy about everything Russia does is that he’s a software engineer with over a decade of experience living in Canada, he’s living the cozy life and literally never going back to Russia because he’s way too soft for that at this point.

      That particular post also got me banned from the community. I said something to the tune that I’ll agree with the state department on China, North Korea and Russia/Ukraine, but disagree on Cuba and Israel/Palestine, which probably makes me more of a leftist than all those dictator simping tankies. Someone did not like me pointing that out.

      You ever point out to those people that Russia and China are very much NOT communist countries nowadays and people only simp for them because it’s opposition to American global hegemony… Yeah you’ll just get banned. I’ve been banned from .ml memes AND hexbear memes communities by now.

      Hey, no judgement, but we’re trying to cut down use of the r-term around here, as a courtesy to those who it’s been used to unfairly hurt. Just for future reference.

            Censorship isn’t asked. It’s just enforced.

            When you can’t be mean, you can’t really speak your mind about people you hate. Like political figures, and certain moderators.

            Right now it seems I’m not being shut up. I guess it’s up to you whether or not to shut me up.

            Just know that a lot of the people that get shut out of “decent” places are people you meet outside, and they’ve been getting weird the last few years. I’m gonna argue it’s causative. It doesn’t exactly feel great to be permanently banned. It’s not very normal or human. It’s exile at a handwave. No warmth, no humanity.

            But you think I’m cold and cruel and awful because I call stupid people retarded, or I guess shitheads now.

      I kind of wish they are trolling and we’re dumb for taking the bait. I mean it’s unlikely as I’ve met true believers (both Nazi and tanky) before IRL and these people sound exactly the same, but who knows.

        What happened 10 years ago in the east? Was it Russia invading due to oil reserve discoveries?

        I know Ukrainians. I know eastern Ukrainians who protested against Yanukovych and were shot at so he could keep his gold loves of bread. I also know Russian/Ukrainians whose families emigrated to Ukraine after the USSR ethnically cleansed Crimea of the Tartars. Ukraine is a place with a complex past and lots of internal issues. But those issues are INTERNAL. They should have the right to work them out themselves. Russia invaded for oil and natural gas resources, plus the black sea ports. The rest is propaganda.

        They’ve been at war for ten years. That’s like saying the US systematically killed German speakers for 4 years in the 1940’s. And they haven’t banned all opposition parties, just the Russian ones.

    My favorite theory is Putin interfered to have Zelenskyy elected as a sort of lame-dog. Only for him to become the badass we know and love.
