        Always ridiculous takes from lemmygrad users. I see a lot from kbin as well, but I’m assuming selection bias or something

      I’m pretty sure they would say that ukraine shouldn’t exsist anyway because the US propaganda is taking over them or whatever.

          Did they not force the president at the time to resign? It’d be like Jan 6th forcing Biden to not take office. I’m genuinely interested to know what the difference is. It can be considered just, but it doesn’t seem inaccurate to call it a coup. Please educate me.

            Not quite, because only a very small minority of americans wanted this to happen. In Ukraine, the forces against Yanukovich’s rule were democratic in nature, and were backed by massive protests that Yanukovich tried to suppress violently. I would call it a revolution.

                Yes, a revolution. That’s not at all what tankies are implying when they claim it’s a coup, and I’m sure you know it.

      I don’t understand, are the people on these servers kremlin bots or are they really that stupid?

        I think they are just trolls. Hexbear has a community called “The Dunk Tank” where they proudly announce when they successfully “dunked” on someone, also known as arguing in bad faith with prejudicial hostility and no will to listen until the other side gives up and leaves. They mark that as a win in their book and applaud to it.

      I found this offensive. Not all people on my instance think what you think.

      lemm.ee have “no bigotry” rule, but why offend other instances is okay?

        If you think the reputation doesn’t apply to you, personally, then it’s trivial to move to a different Lemmy server. It’s not some immutable characteristic of your being.

          I registered on this server 2 years ago and I should move to another server because some people think that this server is for people who support Russia? It’s bullshit. It was a leftist server some time ago, but now it’s a general purpose server. Also leftists != support Russia.

          Anyway, we shouldn’t go in comments and say that people from X are jerks.

            Unlike all of your “quality posts” and no toxicity, huh? Lmao.

            Block what you don’t like buddy. Don’t impose your censorship on everyone else.
