As far as I can tell, this prolifically posting account has literally never posted an article that wasn't negative on Ukraine, and posts about 90% negative on the West in general. For whatever that's worth.
You joined a platform founded and inhabited by Marxist Leninist and checks notes … expected them to leave. Wtf?
No, I expected them to go hide in their little corner of it when the bulk of the population moving here turned out to reject their particular view on reality.
Whether they "founded" the platform is irrelevant, it's an open platform and they're going to be in the minority.
Edit: Oh, and since you switched the goalposts from tankies to "Marxist Leninists", I figured I should point that out. I'm specifically talking about the people who think Russia's full of awesome and manliness and crap like that, rather than being the kleptocratic mafia state basket case it actually is. "Marxist Lenninism" is just a word those people use to sound intellectual.
In the past day I've been described as being "from" noncredibledefense and "from" datahoarder. I do happen to subscribe to both those communities, but I'm not "from" anywhere in particular. Those are just some of many subjects I'm interested in. It's odd, this sort of community identification never seemed to come up on Reddit. And you personally certainly didn't bring me here, I don't know who you are.
Also, not sure why you've identified me as a "Liberal." Haven't voted for them in several elections now.
That's not why I came here, though. I was active on a great many other subreddits, and I "found out" about the Fediverse through other channels. I think I recall seeing that post, now that you mention it, but as I recall I already had an account here (or perhaps on lemmy.ml, which I tried out for a bit before switching to kbin.social).
What's "funny" about me being so active here? I was active on lots of different subreddits on Reddit. You're active here too apparently, is that "funny?" Honestly, I have no idea what point you're trying to make.
😂 Lol
We joined a platform founded and inhabited by Marxist leninists and checks notes ... Expected them to not support an authoritarian capitalist country. Is that really too much to ask?
Glad you understand what America is, and why the Marxist-Leninist here criticize it. Welcome home.
Eager to see what coping everyone switches to when it becomes obvious to Ukraine that the deal Russia offered in 2022 before the Kiev withdrawal was the best possible reality they would ever see again. Little Weimar on the Dnieper. No NATO, no EU, no Donbass, no Crimea.
Then again the epic bacon sirs will probably be given a new shiny thing in Asia or Africa to focus on.
Here's another one.
Lol, it's like finding shitty Easter eggs
Wow, not even a crumb of cope? What about the jets? Potential gamechanger I think.
Yeah and public spending is just like personal finances, don't you agree?
Oh dear, I thought you were at least smart enough to gather the economy isn't personal finances.
Have you tried mailing your thought provoking posts to Putin? Maybe it will change the reality I described. Maybe he never considered it's not very nice and he should simply leave, and actually you can win anytime.
Have a nice Sunday night seething at the internet in your mansion, be sure to get your butler to telegram Putin before bed
lmao, still seething? Let that virgin rage out
I guess Washington Post is Russian propaganda now...
I didn't attack the source. I just pointed out that someone posting more than most on lemmy could push a certain point of view using any and all sources if they cherry pick.
Posting "90% negative on the West in general" is still softballing it.
But yeah... still lots of pro-Russian propaganda flowing around here.
Well I don't believe you're real either.
If this is a play on my username, I laughed.
Thanks for looking into it!
