Not upvoting, not because the subject isn't interesting, but because of the framing: "The great popular hero russia restores water to the poor victims of the ukrainian despotism".

I'd be interested in more sources on the implications behind this. I'd also be interested if you were to publish the same kind of propaganda against Turkey's war crimes against the autonomous communities of Rojava ;-)

I would be more interested in you stopping NATO apologia in threads, but you have demonstrated otherwise by calling others Russian empire puppets. You are bothered and need to say "not upvoting" because you are supportive of Ukraine not letting Crimea having water supply, and do not want to say it openly.

Do you seek interest in publishing photos on Lemmy like this, since you call critics of current narrative "puppets of Russian Empire"?

If you can point to one instance where i advocated for NATO, i'd be happy to provide an apology. Unfortunately this does not exist except in your mind where being against the Russian empire means siding with the western empire. I strongly recommend you do some reading on third-worldism and the importance of non-alignment (in regards to colonial empires) for the socialist/communist/anarchist movement worldwide.

Challenge accepted. I'm all up for denouncing nazism/fascism where it is. I just criticize when denouncing a specific brand of fascism is done in a way to reinforce another (whether it's USA or Russian fascism/imperialism).

On your "challenge accepted" post, you for some reason play both sides trope in plenty hideous ways:

On the Russian side of things, there’s also a bunch of neo-nazis in the army as well as traditional nationalists/fascists. It’s not exactly a secret either:

Both governments have long fought against popular movements and anarchist/antifascist networks. Both countries have neo-nazi/fascist militias parading down the streets and beating/killing random people. Just like France or USA have them too.

Check out the wikipedia page on neo-nazism.

This is a prime example of a grifter and not a critic. Criticism must happen not against the oppressed (pro-Russian) narrative, but the dominant (pro-NATO, pro-Ukraine) narrative. Russia needs to do a lot of catchup on whatever Anglo countries have done, for Russia to be equally called an empire.

You are a grifter trying to paint Russia as an equal to NATO in terms of whatever incidents have happened to date, when just about most of whatever is shown to paint Russia bad in the media is debunked as fake news. https://nitter.eu/dpfunke/status/1496928811753132033

Claims of Russia striking rockets in civilian places to gain empathy, when the below is Smerch complex, and not rockets with fuel in them.

Smerch complex that is supposed to explode... oh wait pacifiers do not explode, but NATO media has done the damage.

Playing both sides trope when the media is suspiciously imbalanced against Russia is purely meant for grift purposes. You have already attempted to label Lemmy users as "pro-Putin internet leninist fanboys" in a post 2 hours ago:

You are gaslighting Lemmy users continuously in comments to create a cauldron and it is not meant for having a balanced debate and dialogue.

OP is obviously a ragebaiter. No person is stupid enough to believe this shit other than brainwashed Russians. Move along folks.
