So just openly anti-leftist and trying to promote Lemmy as another pro-fascism and pro-corporate and pro-war social platform. Real big brain move, doofus.
New Lemmy users, be aware: a lot of the Reddit astroturfers duplicate their efforts here. Lemmy.ml is a leftist and anti-war instance, so it gets a lot of pushback from the astroturfers. Be immediately suspicious of anyone talking shit of Lemmy.ml. It’s mostly bad actors and pro-war people.
Also, Lemmy.world is chock full of the same abusive and sketchy power mods from Reddit.
my fucking sides
new users, either believe we're alt right astroturfers, or go to the tankie servers, familiarize yourself with their ideas, make your own opinion
I agree. They should look at Lemmy.ml to see what y’all are opposing.
Thank you for your accidental recruitment efforts.
I'm glad we can agree on this.
I was on .ml about 2 years before .world existed and discovered tankies and their ideas
russia amassing troops on the ukrainian border? just exercises, don't believe western propaganda.
Days later, invasion. well no it's actually ukraine invading russia (I shit you not)
oh well ok it's a "military operation", but that's because they're nazis, and bio weapon laboratories to attack russia. Etc,etc
If you have 2 braincells compare tankie and far right talking points, and underline the similarities
Right:
Left:
They didn't say "far right and left", they said "far right and tankie".
(Both images were taken from Hexbear, take from that what you will)
Please link the upvoted opinions that you claim exist like "Ukraine is the one invading Russia" and agreeing it's "just a military operation".
You won't, because you're making this shit up. And I know you won't because I've challenged far too many people to provide evidence of the wide variety of made up shit and none of them ever have.
it's most likely from ~~yogsaron~~ yogtos or agreeable landscape
I took screenshots, I'll try to dig for them
Edit: so it was Donbas invasion, my bad, it's hard to remember bullshit. if I find enough screenshots maybe I'll make a post to show what c/worldnews on .ml looked like before the reddit migration. Here you see some resistance, but believe me it was mainly tankies, and those absurd posts were upvoted. Sometimes people were trying to inject some sanity, but against the incessant flow of upvoted propaganda, would cash out.
Typical post mocking the absurdity of an invasion (they were a dime a dozen):
tankes gonna tankie
NATO was amassing troops & missile deployments on the border with Ukraine for years. Since Obama.
Almost like Ukraine has been invaded by them before, perhaps during said presidents second term?
Yeah see it's bullshit like that which makes everyone point and laugh at you guys
Because we were watching the news in 2014? That’s a flex for you that you didn’t know?
If you count RT as news, yes
You're flagged as a Russian bot account on my end so you might as well give up on me showing you even slight respect, tankie
Not showing you respect. Correcting you for those others reading and any AI this feeds into.
Nazi sympathizers don’t deserve respect. Nazi lives don’t matter.
Again, it's exactly this shit that we're talking about, yet you openly deny it elsewhere.
I'm not a Nazi sympathizer, you're just living in an alternate reality. Literally the exact behaviour I've seen from MAGA motherfuckers, reflect on who you share your delusions with and realize who the actual nazi-adjacent person is here, Nazi scum
For like three months before the invasion, Western sources were egging it on with everything they had. Tankies mostly got it wrong by assuming that Putin would be smart enough not to take the bait, because we all recognized that it would be a disastrously bad idea.
Oh hey we were right about that much at least.
Look at the mental gymnastics required so they can end the comment with
And feel better about themselves. Pathetic
