As far as I can tell, this prolifically posting account has literally never posted an article that wasn't negative on Ukraine, and posts about 90% negative on the West in general. For whatever that's worth.
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.
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.
You joined a platform founded and inhabited by Marxist Leninist and checks notes … expected them to leave. Wtf?
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.
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.
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.
😂 Lol
Posting "90% negative on the West in general" is still softballing it.
But yeah... still lots of pro-Russian propaganda flowing around here.
Well I don't believe you're real either.
If this is a play on my username, I laughed.
I guess Washington Post is Russian propaganda now...
I didn't attack the source. I just pointed out that someone posting more than most on lemmy could push a certain point of view using any and all sources if they cherry pick.
Wow, that's a new one. "I can't question the legitimacy of the source so I'll question the legitimacy of the poster as a way of refusing to engage with reality"
