    “Refusing aid to a tyrannical murdering regime is just virtue signaling that hurts the innocent.”

    “Upholding a tyrannical murdering regime with aid is the same as performing its murders yourself.”

    Which one do tankies believe? Well, it depends on whether the tyrannical murdering regime is pro-US or anti-US.

        Oh, I thought they were user flares and those people had a modicum of self awareness. Silly me to attribute double digit neurons to tankies.

        Funny, I called him out on being more interested invattacking Liberalism andsupporting fascist regimes than actually speaking out against human rights crimes, and noted that he has a concerning bias towards political spheres which currently have an approaching/ongoing election. My suspicion became that he’s a tankie programmer who happens to just like this space in his down time, but genuine Putin praising Russian citizen/asset was never really off the table.

          I’m convinced at least one of the .Ml admins are literally just paid shills for totalitarian regimes (Davel). Yogthos has the same link spam with no substance argumentation.

          What’s interesting and telling is these guys’ rhetoric isn’t actually focused on particular issues, but exclusively the actions of states and how Russia, China, and North Korea are all pinnacles of morality and success, while US bad.

          The more of their shit you read the more obvious it becomes

          And they run the instance

          Idk. Doesn’t bode well for Lemmy long term, they make the entire software stink

    Occasionally I wonder if I should unblock .ml to get more content, then I always remember why they’re blocked in the first place.
