It’s the same shit with the tankies on Lemmy. They write these essays like they are payed per character and link the dumbest shit you can imagine. My favourite being some dude on youtube saying “It was the CIA, CIA man told me, trust me it’s CIA man in trenchcoat, tiananmen square did not happen and if it did it was scary CIA man”.

This sentiment is very common around the world. Every time something goes wrong it’s not the government: “It’s the USA/Europe/Jews! AAAARGH! They fear us so much! That’s why they sabotage us all the time!” I hear this shit in my own family from time to time and it never stops being funny. I wish I could deep dive into an alternate reality like they do.

Tankies on Lemmy: "I am very critical of Putin's Russia. Now excuse me while I regurgitate Russian propaganda word for word"
