That mod in those countries would be made to disappear for the pronouns in his name, then tortured until he admits to raping children.
They have the pronouns to pretend to be on the left, when in reality they're more alligned with Neo-Nazis
Yeah I heard those Russian deamons rape babies for breakfast
Hello lemmygrad troll, how it feels to shill for a christofascist empire? Did you trigger enough libs by destroying racist Amerikkka?
What brain rot nonsense is this? Have you ever wanted to be human instead of a cringe factory?
I don't even get your lingo, idiot. You're brainwashed
I was surprised they didn't remove the thread
But then I understood
They ban everyone that accuses them of censoring, or being tankies, or speaking against china and russia, and they keep their tankies' comments so people are convinced
Nobody asked for one, but I got a pretty good explanation for why this is what why this is happening.
ML's on lemmy are predominantly of the "deprogram" variety (in reference to the deprogram podcast and r/thedeprogram being quite large on reddit), and generally they're a laughing stock given the narratives they parrot that are so de-attached from the material reality and their various mannerisms when it comes to arguing. One of the larger narratives is that the west and western imperialism is horrible (which is true), and that whoever is opposed to it must be a force for good or something, which manifests as uncritical support for China, Russia, Iran even though they're both imperialist bourgeoisie states too.
I see some people claim that they're some paid Russian shills, which is wrong. They do it for free, with a genuine belief because that's what their community says and does.
So dumb people?
you guys have no idea how much money goes towards the russian propaganda machine
Seriously, BRICS overall, with slave labor factored in (because most bots are slaves, not computers, NPR did a story on it), and all the illegal and illicit videos put/hosted online for blackmail, plus the crypto scams and romance scams, has to be in the trillions. It's literally a new type of warfare more deadly than drones.
No. How much?
putin literally funds it, billions on this troll farms. plus he funds other right wing groups or media as well.

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
