- The Institute for the Study of War backs up Kyiv’s claims, saying Ukraine captured “multiple settlements” along the frontline over the weekend

No they’re just defending the invasion and forced annexation of a country, brushing aside mountains of documented war crimes and Um AksHuAllying /both sidesing a war of aggression by an authoritarian dictator that rigs his own elections and came to power by killing his own people (while talking about wanting to annex Ukraine at the time) for… reasons. You can jump to defend the tankie fucks if you want but I’m not, I’ll continue to call them what they are.
Lemmy.ml has been clear from the start that ML stands for Marxist Leninist. You’re the one pretending ignorance for some reason.
What is your problem? I was simply trying to explain to you that most newbies who are now flocking to instances such as lemmy.ml don’t give a shit about Marxism-Leninism and they don’t know that the domain “.ml” stands for Marxism-Leninism… Why are you trying to accuse me of “defending tankies”? What makes you even come to this conclusion? It’s completely absurd…
Yeah I am familiar with Lemmy for about 2 years now, I’m completely aware that there are a lot of cringy tankies around here… What I’m trying to tell you is that most people who have joined in the past couple of days are largely not tankies…
You can argue that people who are signing up to lemmy.ml would probably find that one out very soon if they just do basic research, and you would be right. But again, most people won’t do that, they will simply click on join and ignore anything that is written there.
I am entirely unsure how not being aware of what .ml stands for is “defending the invasion”.
I for one didn’t know this, i also didn’t join lemmy.ml I joined feddit.de…
I have a strong connection to Ukraine now.
Все буде Україна! Я не знаю, чому ти це кажеш… Я люблю Україну!
