Something I don't understand how people can correctly identify NATO propaganda dismissing war crimes and western imperialism... and then immediately turn around and uncritically consume Russian & Chinese propaganda dismissing war crimes and imperialism. Do these people have any actual moral positions or are they just contrarians?
You know, I don't know if I want him dead in prison or squealing like a stuck pig more. I'm inclined towards Team Sellout on an intellectual level, but his corpse slumped in a concrete box has a certain visceral appeal.
It's probably all of them.
Alright, hot take: This isn't the case, especially on Lemmy/kbin. Since upvotes/downvotes don't influence sorting, and scores aren't totaled into a single number, there's not really any downside to downvoting someone for just being a shitty opinion or something. If anything, it's actively informative that this-many-people thought this guy was dumb, but _this* many people thought it was good.
You are literally on m/NonCredibleDefense.
Hope the moderation gets more aggressive soon, or this place is fuuuucked. There's already like three the_donald magazines.
It's not great, tbh. People just want to lurk, not potentially get shit on for what they're boosting.
Not surprised, given the political climate of the university.
The subreddit for Waterloo is kinda infamous rife with incel shit. It's a tiny microcosm of the culture there, and I'm not surprised it boiled over.
I will never understand the appeal of these awful little men and their screeching little chats. They're all so loud and irritating.

In terms of the "tankie problem", it's mostly supporting Russian aggression in Ukraine pretty much solely to "own the libs" and "get back at the evil NATO". Most "tankies", a term that has become effectively meaningless from overuse, are more accurately political contrarians who care less about things getting better for more people and more about Owning The Libs.
There's honestly a good chunk of them on most fediverse instances just due to the general community vibe, with Hexbear having more than, say, lemmy.world, but less than lemmygrad. Hexbear stands out moreso to being the successor to Chapo Trap House, a community notorious for being so utterly vile to interact with that nobody wants anything to do with them.
