The second someone wastes their time in your post history you’ve already won

Sometimes you see a wild political take on Lemmy and you open their profile and see them praising Russia and China.

Who praises Russia? I see endless accusations of this, but its always someone misunderstanding opposition to the US and praise for each of it’s enemies.

Does your instance federate with lemmy.ml and lemmy.grad? You get banned on those instances for doing anything except simp for Russia. Majority of the users there defend all of russia’s actions.

Yes. Are you confusing defending Russia’s actions with having more nuance than attributing all of Russian’s actions to Russians being mustache-twirling villains who do evil for its own sake?

We’re not talking about people praising Russian cuisine, art, and literature. We’re talking about tankies taking Russia’s side on the invasion of Ukraine and parroting Russian propaganda about the war being NATO’s fault and Ukrainians being Nazis.

The war requires Russia, Ukraine, and America to continue. It’d be great if Russia would just stop, but as an American it’s more sensible to oppose my own government’s support.

Ukrainians being Nazis

There are a shitton of nazis in Ukraine tho, there’s also a bunch in Russia.

Fuck you
