It's hilarious that you people think the mods of a random instance are a front for the Hexbear NKVD or something, as opposed to the simple explanation that what you call "Russian propaganda" is what we call "things the west will admit six month later."
Six months from now you'll be pretending you always knew Ukraine was a fascist shithole as you argue for the emergency conscription of Volksturm units to stop the Russian horde.
Three years ago they were all also admitting that, we've just decided that this particular war fell out of the coconut tree.
Just as Western corporate media admitted to it up until just before 2022, as I showed elsewhere in this post.
It is by Western corporate media’s own accounts: https://lemmy.ml/comment/10679555
I wouldn’t go so far as to say “excuse,” but I’ll further add:
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
NATO “most violent, aggressive alliance in the world”
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

Well I only speak for myself but I don't care for Putin personally. I think it's a shame he's the head of state, I really wish he wasn't the favored successor of the guy the US helped install at the head of the new state after the USSR started to fold. That entire era was a massive human rights tragedy, I think we agree.
I think what is irritating to a lot of people who aren't pro-Ukraine is that the entire world knew there was a fascism problem before the war. Now we're expected to support them like they're noble underdogs, because the government wants to do things western governments approve of.
I don't think it's good to round up young men and force them to die in a war they don't want to participate in. I have no control over Putin but a bunch of my labor value is being used, against my will, to turn a bunch of people into corpses.
