Or when they say that Russia's genocide of the Ukrainians or China's genocide of the Uyghurs isn't real and claiming it is real is actually genocide denialism?


/This is an actual image of .ml's and dbzer0's admins.

Pretty accurate. However it is just braindead like @Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com and @Luminous5481@lemmy.dbzer0.com

But as long as @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com let’s them do whatever they want, he is part of the problem.

And they call themselves anarchists lol. Like someone who smoked weed once calls themselves hippie.

Edit: watch me get banned in real time from their hypocritical “Anarchist Flotilla”. I bet they all feel like heroes by using the term Flotilla

This sarcastic comment was removed and got me banned:

I see. So the US western expansion wasn't imperialist because they weren't a hegemonic world power yet. They were just trying to make sure they could stand up to England! It wasn't about territorial expansion or resources at all. Ridiculous drivel.

They can't let other tankies see how ridiculous their arguments are.

The other one was mocking tankies for gargling Putin's asshole, which is a bit more understandable; I guess some people like the taste.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 44 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Tankies are authoritarians. Red fascists. They don't give a fuck about anything or anyone, just their fascist kings being in charge so they can hurt people they think are inferior. Just like any other fascist.

They shit on Marx and gargle Lenin and Mao, then tell you that actually state control and secret police are the real communism.

Is it any wonder from people who cheer when the tanks roll over protesters and revolutionaries?

🤣 I enjoy refuting their bullshit about the USSR since I'm from there.

Pfff, a real tankie would never admit it was for territorial expansion. Don't you know Zelensky is the new Hitler? Russia is just saving Europe from Ukraine.

We should be thanking them.

(Totally not sarcasm, I'm super cereal)

I have a 35 year-old coworker who is a Ride Or Die Russian dick rider he doesn’t fully support Trump since the Epstein cover-up, but he still will praise him, but he fully supports Russia in its invasion of Ukraine saying that Ukraine is full of pedophiles and they need to be wiped off the Earth. And somehow achieving this will make our lives in America better and everything will be cheaper somehow…

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It's why Tucker Carlson supports them: they're right-wing authoritarian nationalists.

Don't give money to Ukraine because they're evil fascists. Let Putin and his glorious thousand year regime reign supreme and stamp out the parasites suckling the life out of the earth like ticks on the flesh of Matka Rossiya.

This will also make eggs cheaper.

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 34 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

It blows my mind that pro- Palestinians think they shouldn't support Ukraine.

[–] BiteSizedZeitGeist@lemmy.world 34 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I wonder if MLs around here are pro-Palestine only because that's a pushback against the Western representation in the Middle East, Isreal

[–] catsarebadpeople@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago

I think you nailed it.

It's only imperialism if it's being produced in the special empire

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

If it doesn't come from the regions of the Western Imperialist Pigs then it's not real imperialism. It's sparkling annexation.

Of course it's imperialism.

What kinda irks me, as an American, is when other Americans act like this is the first time anyone's done an invasion in the 21st century. As though our government didn't spend the last twenty+ years establishing what huge economic, nuclear powers can get away with on the world stage.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (20 children)

They'll point to Israel, Israel, Israel. Okay, sure, agreed.

But when you point out that China, North Korea, and Russia are all engaging in a blatant genocide against Ukraine -- they suddenly cannot grasp the concept!

[–] boonhet@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My political sanity check is to ask what one's opinion is on Ukraine and Palestine.

See Ukrainians as victims of genocide but not Palestine? Zionist piece of shit. Palestinians are victims but Russia is justified? Tankie piece of shit. Don't approve of either genocide? Might be a sane human being that actually dislikes genocide itself.

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Genocide is when the killing is not being done by my friends.

Lemmy.ml/socialism is a toxic wasteland filled with Stalinists and DPRK supporters (really)

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Lemmy.ml in general. Mod of lemmy.ml/worldnews called Ukrainians terrorists for drone striking oil depots. I called him out badly (won't use the word) for not calling Russia terrorists for bombing hospitals. Got banned from lemmy.ml/jellyfin. So yeah, arguing on worldnews got me banned from jellyfin, and a few other completely unrelated forums despite them not sharing mods.

That means their homeserver, jellyfin and a few other forums are run by hardcore tankies. If you insult Russians , you are banned from helping people with their server problems.
