ever asked a lemmy.ml admin/mod whether they’re pro-Russian or not? You’ll notice you’ll never get them to answer, but they’ll get mad as fuck and start spewing all sorts of unrelated garbage, while refusing to answer a simple yes or no question.
The ridiculous thing is it would be so easy to lie about it, but Russians don’t even jokingly want to write that they’re not pro-Russian so as to not “accidentally fall out of a window”.
“When I get really aggressive with people and demand that they answer loaded questions they don’t immediately submit to my framing and let me dictate the entire course of the conversation.”
You think “is X breaking international law” a “loaded question”.
This is exactly what I meant a few days back when I was laughing at you larping a philosopher. You use all these buzz words you think magically make you win an argument.
No, asking “Has Russia broken international law with it’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022?” is not a loaded question of any sort.
It’s just proof you’re a Russian too afraid to say outloud what he knows to be truth. Like a coward.
Also, using the “I’m writing a strawman in quotes as my argument” thing really gets old after you use it more than three times in a row.
This really doesn’t work with adults. Sorry. You larp a philosopher with buzzwords from fallacies you can’t even je bothered to read a wiki article about.
Honestly this comment proves you’re a bot. You detected ‘strawman’ because I called you out for using debatebro buzzwords haphazardly, but your algorithm just caught the word itself so you spit out a response that acted like I was using it.
It’s extremely funny that you’re accusing me of what you just did under the heading ‘no u’
I haven’t ever even interacted with you, but going by your reaction, you would avoid answering the question:
Do you believe Russia has broken international law with their illegal war of aggression by invading Ukraine in February 2022?
Second of all, what, you think they don’t have the internet or something? You would like the internet to have a trump-wall to protect you from what foreigners have to say? Sheltered little cowardy fuck
Oh no no. I have nothing against Russians who are against Putler. But for those pussies who pretend they buy into the shitty propaganda and then support pro-Russian bullshit, they are hypocritical.
I have several Russian friends over here in Finland who managed to escape when they were kids.
And denying Russian misinformation while blaming the Americans. If you’d signed that comment “Love, Putin” it still wouldn’t be more see-through, lol.
Get rid of Putin, Ruskies. You’ve deposed dictators before, you can’t do it again. Then you get to enjoy all our fun Western things again, and can afford to put some butter on your bread.
The iconic Tiananmen square “Tank man” photo, where one guy stands in front of a column of tanks on their way to slaughter pro-democracy protesters, briefly stopping them. Tankies are lunatics that wish for authoritarian communism and so unironically support the tanks running him over.
Lmao “running him over?” The video shows him walking away completely unscathed, after they let him into the tank to talk. The tanks were also leaving the square, not entering it. That’s also not where the term comes from.
I’m confused. What are you saying? That word is thrown around against socialists. Tankies is often used to shut someone down and ignore what they’re saying no matter how correct it is, or how little it has to do with Marxism.
What is “inherently flawed” about Marxism? Furthermore, all major AES states have been dramatic improvements on what came before, from the brutal Tsarist Russia, to the poor agrarian Nationalist China, to the fascist slave economy of Cuba, Socialism has made a massive improvement compared to previous systems for these countries.
Lemmy.ml is the instance admin’d by the developers of Lemmy, who are Marxists. Lemmy.world is admin’d and moderated by liberals who generally are hostile towards Marxism, and have defederated from the 2 largest explicitly Marxist instances as a result.
Users generally prefer Lemmy.ml or Lemmy.world depending on their opinions on Marxism and Communism vs liberalism and Capitalism. We are on Lemmy.world right now, which is going to have far more people agreeing with OP than if this was posted on Lemmy.ml, where users hold the opposite opinion, that Lemmy.world is a problem (generally).
Whereas worldist don’t deny genocide, they’ll just say “it’s unavoidable because both sides want it anyway so it doesn’t really matter because you have to stay realistic so it’s not much of a deal really nobody cares”.
I wish more people would defederate from .world lmao
Sure. They’re not far enough to the right for some of .world’s centrists, who are very upset that some people from .ml are outspoken opponents of genocide. And as such, they have for the third time designated an instance to be the “tankie instance” that they desperately want .world to defederate from. .world’s centrists will continue this until they have convinced the admins to defederate from .ml, at which point they will once again find a new instance to designate as “tankies” and start the pressure to remove it.
They consider .world’s neoliberalism to be the leftmost acceptable boundary of political thought, and will do anything to limit the discussion accordingly.
Can someone inform me about what’s wrong with lemmy.ml?
The ml stands for Marxist-Leninist, and the admins are tankies
oh, please not this shit again

Learn what a strawman is. You look like a fucking idiot.
Ah more of the “no, u”.

Modern Russia is an imperialist shit hole. There you got a straight answer.
probably has something to do with them being materialists and understanding that geopolitics is more complex than good guys vs bad guys
Oh yeah sure.
International law is pretty clear though.
Specifically on wars of aggression.
Like the one in February 2022 by Russia who illegally invaded Ukraine.
No need to assert goodness or badness on anyone or anything, but it is very clear Russia is guilty of breaking international law. (As usual.)

Becsuse of the tons of clear Russians on Lemmy, pushing Russian propaganda?
The Argentinian conflict was in 1982, my man, you’re a decade(s) late and a ruble short.

I feel u. Inter-instance wars are cringe asf🤦
They are tankies
I am thinking about tanks, explain.
“Tankie” is a pejorative used against Marxists, though I’ve seen it even used against Anarchists these days.

It do be facts tho:-D
All those poor tipped over bicycles 😢
Comrade Hakim made a great video explaining the origins of the term and exploring how it is used.

Might as well just link directly to the CIA homepage if you’re going to use wikipedia as a reference for leftist politics and history

Where the fuck do you libs get your misinformation from?
That’s not where the term comes from.

Libs will do literally zero research about something they build their entire identity around

Probably because Marxism is an inherently flawed political system, and every country that has ever attempted it has quickly become a hellhole.

They do not support the Biden administrations genocide in Gaza.

Their users often argue for authoritarian regimes and deny genocides.
