    This has happened to me on Lemmy and Reddit too. I forget what it was I said - an instance where it seemed to me Russia was technically in the right about something - and there was a big old pile on and many downvotes. I think the assumption was “agree with Russia on anything and you’re wrong about everything”

      As usual the libs are projecting when they talk about leftists defending every single thing a country does. The reality is that they want everything a US rival does to be bad, every single time, and if you step away from that, no matter the objective facts, you’re a “tankie.”

    I’m Russian for wanting the war in Ukraine to end, I’m Russian for citing American news sources about it, and I am apparently in a gay relationship with Vladmir Putin himself for pointing out well-documented Cold War history. I don’t know how or when Russia laid claim to all this stuff, but at this point I’ve got to respect their hustle.

        sometimes i wish i knew the language; especially so when i get accused of being one.

        i suspect that it will come in handy blue-maga gets angry for advocating voting against the democrat’s zionist pro-genocide candidate in the next presidential election. lol

      I’m Russian cause they’d shoot me if I traveled there to revoke my citizenship.

      tbh, don’t believe any of the shit Russia says. It’s all lies and propaganda, so even if what they say seems to make sense, their actions do not follow. It’s horrible how their news channels report on the war and what kind of paranoid brainworms they have inflicted on my family :/

        You’re doing the meme

        The other day I had a guy tell me I was performing oral sex on Putin for pointing out that the fighting in the Donbas region had been going on since before 2022. Showing him a CNN segment on the conflict from 2013 did not change his assessment.

      Ohhh that’s a good one, posting this on average Polish social media would cause you to recive many long responses (and some way shorter but much more severe private messages) by people who are totally not extremely mad.
