Lemmy, for the most part, has been calling for the destruction of West as long as it has been in existence. There are still some niches that practically just forward unfiltered Russian and Chinese propaganda.
You can even see it in this thread. See for instance Dieguito’s comment below.

Sounds to me like “everyone” wants Putin to be stopped and Ukraine to be free.
Well, I sure don’t want to see it, but it’s getting pretty restless over there.

I don’t see wiping anyone out as particularly beneficial. Only the citizens will die, and most of them won’t want to fight and probably can’t even tell you why they’re fighting to begin with. The east has no more of a right to destroy the west as the west has a right to destroy the east
Tbc if Russia pushes its troops west into Poland:Baltic’s/Finland (as it plans to), we will be in WW 3 whether we want to or not. My preferred outcome is for the Russian aggression to be punished quickly before this happens by restoring 2014 borders in Ukraine. If (the threat of) Western intervention can help achieve this I am all for it.
Does it.
what’s tbc?
To be clear? To be ___ something I think
Governments spend billions on propaganda, many here are brainwashed

Yes that’s propaganda. There’s no better future in waging wars against other poor people. There’s a better future in waging war against the elites who are spreading propaganda and exploiting people like you are saying yourself
On but you need to be telling that to the Russian soldiers attacking not the people defending themselves
Politicians defend their own interests and position, they do not care about people look at how they are all supporting the genocide in gaza right now and how they support dictators around the world like in saudi arabia. Ukraine people are defending themself but the ukrainian government it’s defending his filthy interests and a bunch of invisible lines on the maps
You’re very wrong about Ukraine just being lines on a map, I too hate borders in principle but the reality is it actually affects real peoples ability to live their own lives.
Imagine you own a house and you’re living in it but then I’m your neighbor and I decide that I’m paving over your vegetable garden and storing rusty metal in your living room, would you still think property lines are just invisible lines on a map or would those lines be very significant to you?
The reality is that people don’t own shit anymore, the average living room can barely fit a sofa and nobody has a garden oh yeah but they still have their property lines.
One argument i see is always corporations support conservatives to oppose abortion so they will have more poor people to exploit. But if they also want to use us as cannon fodder, they won’t have consumers and workers to exploit. Which is it?
It’s fine, they’ll just suggest a new generation of baby boomers to get the population back up again.
