.ml and hexbear are the tankie instances
They used to have a lot of popular communities on there, but they have driven most of them off their space into other instances by now.
If you imply that Putin or Xi are dictators you will get banned from those spaces.
Edit: hey look, I summoned one
i don't want to encourage bothering people in other instances, but getting banned from hexbear feels kind of like getting banned from thedonald. Not quite the badge of honor you'd hope. Like, cool and all but what were you doing there in the first place.
Well they aren't.
Both countries have elections. (unlike ukraine BTW that without the excuse of war banned almost every party and put political opponents in jail)
It's a ridiculous cartoon villain propaganda name.
Like every country the west doesn't like needs to be called a regime.
Annoying
So when does someone besides Putin or Xi get "elected"?
Wow your whataboutism really proved that China has a free society.
Good job.
You know you are allowed to aknowledge your country has problems and talk about how to fix them? I guess that's a taboo thing in a dictatorship tho.
Looks like you lost this one troll farm account
Not so easy to shit out disinfo when you can't ban me XD
Putin and Xi are dictators in the same way that Trump is trying to be. They consolidated power under their office, removing term limits and checks, and manipulate the democratic process in their favor (often with blatant ballot stuffing and crushing opposition, in the case of Putin).
The US political system, as corrupt as it is, isn't quite to that point yet, though unfortunately that might be changing soon.
I started to make a long effort post detailing Putin's rise to - and subsequent consolidation of - power, but then I came to my senses and realized it would be pointless. If I went through with it, you would just do what you've been doing already, dismiss all sources I provide as false and biased propaganda while engaging in ridiculous whataboutism. I decided it would be a poor use of my time, is this really how you want to be spending yours?
Lol. Lmao, even
Did you hear what happened to Alexei Navalny? How anyone can think that Russia is not a kleptocratic dictatorship is beyond me.
Ok so even assuming all this is true, (which is a big assumption, but whatever), does that deserve a summarily death sentence?
Please drop the immediate whataboutism for once
You sound like an unhinged conspiracy theorist, mate.
Wrong, but you must be one of those larouchite conspiracists. Sorry but I don't interact with nonsense like this.
Lol
