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.
You joined a platform founded and inhabited by Marxist Leninist and checks notes … expected them to leave. Wtf?
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.
I hate myself for bringing the likes of you from datahoarder. Liberals are brainwormed..
In the past day I've been described as being "from" noncredibledefense and "from" datahoarder. I do happen to subscribe to both those communities, but I'm not "from" anywhere in particular. Those are just some of many subjects I'm interested in. It's odd, this sort of community identification never seemed to come up on Reddit. And you personally certainly didn't bring me here, I don't know who you are.
Also, not sure why you've identified me as a "Liberal." Haven't voted for them in several elections now.
I was the one who made the big post for datahoarder to consider Lemmy as second base. Funny you are so active here.
That's not why I came here, though. I was active on a great many other subreddits, and I "found out" about the Fediverse through other channels. I think I recall seeing that post, now that you mention it, but as I recall I already had an account here (or perhaps on lemmy.ml, which I tried out for a bit before switching to kbin.social).
What's "funny" about me being so active here? I was active on lots of different subreddits on Reddit. You're active here too apparently, is that "funny?" Honestly, I have no idea what point you're trying to make.
😂 Lol
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?
Glad you understand what America is, and why the Marxist-Leninist here criticize it. Welcome home.
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.
Here's another one.
Lol, it's like finding shitty Easter eggs
Wow, not even a crumb of cope? What about the jets? Potential gamechanger I think.
I feel like I could invade your home unprovoked and take over your kitchen, eventually trashing up the floors to setup trenches to prevent you from retaking it and you'd just agree to negotiate and let me take your bedroom to fuck your mother.
Yeah and public spending is just like personal finances, don't you agree?
I mean, I'm very wealthy, and the country I live in is also very wealthy. And we both agree we can spend pennies of the vast amount of our tax dollars to fuck up a shithole struggling incompetent third-world country like Russia through a highly competent proxy like Ukraine without lifting a finger. So yes I agree.
You also didn’t refute what I said about invading your home, so you sound like a tankie cuck. PM me your address please and I can help show your beautiful kind mother a good time.
Oh dear, I thought you were at least smart enough to gather the economy isn't personal finances.
Have you tried mailing your thought provoking posts to Putin? Maybe it will change the reality I described. Maybe he never considered it's not very nice and he should simply leave, and actually you can win anytime.
Have a nice Sunday night seething at the internet in your mansion, be sure to get your butler to telegram Putin before bed
No I'm actually impressively stupid.
No I haven't thought about it, because I'm happy sending Ukraine 30 year old dusty ancient arms and equipment that was sitting in storage, and surprised it is still capable of pushing Russian shit back up their asses. Hopefully many of them will die, fuck them Russian soldiers.
Thank you, I will definitely enjoy my weekend. Although it's not a mansion, I'm very certain with a high degree of confidence it's nicer than the shithole tankie hovel you live in, which makes me pity you for how pathetic you have become, not seethe.
lmao, still seething? Let that virgin rage out
