Kind of shocked their were consequences for this tbh. I just assumed being aligned with nazis was the norm for western powers now.
Maybe they were hoping corporate media wouldn’t notice or wouldn’t cover it, and that social media algorithms would squelch it if anyone outside corporate media noticed it. Maybe the lower house speaker was the designated fall guy as a plan B.
it took 2 days for it to get picked up by msn, all the articles about it are from sunday morning, it happened on friday and i was already seeing people online talking about it then. anyway, guy still gets to be in parliament he only resigned as speaker lol
What have you been smoking?
His name is "marx_mentat" and he's from Hexbear, so I think "Russian propaganda" is an obvious answer. If you believe (or pretend to believe) the Russian claim that Ukraine is run by Nazis then western support for Ukraine is trivially spun as support for Nazis.
You're from kbin so you must believe pee pee poo poo
That’s what’s funny about the incident … whatever you want to think about claims from far leftists or tankies that there is actually a problematic facism presence in Ukraine … this happens where we can only ask “how in the world” while the tankies or whatever are just like “yep told you” and we’ve got pikachu face.
