So you think you really want to argue Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine, all the warcrimes Russians are pulling, and you're gonna defend that by saying Russians are the heroically invading Ukraine to save Ukraine?

Guess you haven't yet understood the essence of Russian propaganda; deny and obfuscate, never actually answer anything.

Anyone actually engaging with any Russian propaganda knows it breaks down at the slightest touch.

I don't want to take up the whole page with this, so I'll just list the sub-headers;

Prohibited weapons, Abduction and deportation, Attacks on civilians, Unlawful wanton destruction or appropriation of property, Attacks on hospitals and medical facilities, Destruction of energy infrastructure, Destruction and theft of cultural heritage, Torture of civilians, Use of human shields, Sexual violence, Looting, Forced conscription, Mistreatment of prisoners of war, Genocide

War crimes in the Russian invasion of Ukraine - Wikipedia

(en.wikipedia.org)

We all know Ukraine is the good side. They may have some baddies on their side (one battalion of crazy fucks), but Russia has way more companies filled with rapists, thieves, murderers taken out of prisons and shipped to the front.

Kindly fuck of to the front lines to feed the drones so we don't need to hear from you anymore.

I think anything even remotely implying that you don't fully buy into the insanity that is Russian propaganda is "believing America about anything".

If tankies are right wing, liberals are right wing, not to mention those who are actually right-wing outside of your head-canon, who is not right-wing?

This strikes me as much of the root of the problem here, of why immature and uneducated people are drawn to fascism. You all treat it like team sports.

You really can’t even imagine opposing Russia while also opposing Nazis. Or you’re just a Nazi looking to groom people into the ideology with Russiaphobia.

Welcome to lemmy newbies, here is your first official feud post.

Solidarity amongst the instances! We will not be divided!

.world needs a targeted marketing campaign, we just need to point to the very public mod log. The mods at .world do all the work for us lol.

I'm still not banned and I have been critical of both nations. Everybody Sucks Here

I would argue FOSS is more akin to cooperative anarchism or library economics. Murray Bookchin

I'm a Finnish person with detailed understanding of Russia.

We literally fought Nazis and Russia, both.

I constantly criticise the US for it's growing fascism. I also heavily criticise my own country for its authoritarian tendencies. See unlike you, I don't have a preferred flavour when it comes to injustice. I'm disgusted by it all.

So your attempt at generalising is really ironic here. You are literally doing what you blame "others" for doing "treating it like team sports". But you can't accept a single criticism of Russia. And would NEVER admit to the WELL DOCUMENTED war crimes they've pulled during their ILLEGAL INVASION of a sovereign country with some ridiculous excuse of "we are invading them to save them from Nazism and install our dear leader".

"ideology of Russiaphobia"

First of, it's "russophobia". Secondly, no, pointing out facts about Russia, like their endless amount of war crimes isn't any sort of discrimination, вахтера.

i generally lean ML, but both of these are stateless to me? isnt this really about horizontal vs hierarchical power?

Why do you need your admins to block .ml? If you don't like what you see, that sounds like a you problem, not a us problem. Since you need your hands held through this process, I have made this easy guide on how to do it yourself.

Welcome to a tutorial on how to block .ml on your personal account.

In the top right corner of the top of the page, there are 3 horizontal white bars. Click it.

This will open up a drop down menu. At the bottom of that menu, you will see your username. Click it.

This will open another drop down menu with 3 options. Click "Settings".

At the top of your screen you will see 2 tabs. Click the one that says "Blocks".

Here you will see "Block user" "Block community" and "Block instance". Click the down arrow below "Block instance".

This will open up a search bar. Type "lemmy.ml" and click it after it shows up.

That's it! You've blocked .ml and will never see content from the instance. Now you don't need to make a feud post every day complaining about .ml and other instances you disapprove of. Think of all the time you will save!

But wait, we aren't done yet in this menu. Click the down arrow under "Block user". Now type "UltraGiGaGigantic" Make sure you select my .ml account as the other ones I no longer use. Thanks, appreciate it.

If you go on there concern trolling and trying to start shit, I bet you will get banned.

But, fun fact, communists actually are not a fan of fascists.

General sentiment doesn't matter. It's when you, for example, point out that [email protected] is a Russian disinformation agent. He is literally Russian, he's cleaned up his profiles now, but when I started looking into that account I found several alts on other instances with communication in Russian. Like there wasn't even a hint of suspicion if he was Russian or not.

But [email protected] account adamantly insists that they are American "born and bred", while still literally saying Putin is right to invade Ukraine, denying Uyghyr genocide, denying Russian war crimes, posted tons in the run up to the US presidential election about "don't vote genocide joe" and all that "avoid voting no matter what" bullshit as an intentional push to instigate apathy in American voters to decrease voter turnout.

Him, antioutsideaktion, it's rather trivial to recognise them.

And the simplest way is to ask them "are you pro-Russian". Davel is afraid of answering it, despite clearly and vocally supporting Russian propaganda, even going so far as to literally say "reality has a well known Russian propaganda bias". I mean, literally.

And after saying that, he still won't say he's Russian. And pretends to be American? What a patriot, right?

He's a mod so he banned me from everywhere he could. Nowadays he doesn't really even dare to participate on lemmy.world so I don't engage him.

"Look at me, look at me. I am the moderator now."

[email protected]

It does, yes. Display pics and display names.

[email protected]

I didn't.

I simply pointed out that [email protected] saying things like "reality has a well known Russian propaganda bias" would be extremely weird for an actual "red blooded, born&bred American", which he claims to be.

So he just as an American patriot learned to speak Russian and won't answer the question of "are you pro-Russian" while actively pushing Russian propaganda?

communists actually are not a fan of fascists

Fun fact, both are totalitarian authoritarianist forms as OF now.

We'll check again about communism when we get to Star Trek levels of utopia, mkay?

Cowbee [he/they]

If we are to agree with Engels, Communes (or cooperatives) consist entirely of Petite Bourgeoisie, unless there is no interaction outside said commune. Trade between communes implies each commune wishing to get more out of the trade, which implies differences in material wealth in communes that can then escalate into Capitalism. It isn't what we think of as a State, but some form of armed millitia must be maintained to enshrine ownership within a commune, and not outside it, ergo a state enforcing class distinctions.

Really, though, I think the term "stateless" brings ideological baggage rather than logical. What's important is the structures themselves, not how we wish to label them. Conversations around "true" Communism or whatnot inevitably fall into ideological debate based in idealism, rather than a logical analysis of material conditions.
