"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.

I’ve had yogthos blocked since like my second day on lemmy, you’re a braver person than me just tagging them.

Funny, I called him out on being more interested in attacking Liberalism and supporting 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

Weirdly glad to see your experiences mirror mine, even if they make a sad reality.

This is my concern, too. I do respect what they've created - getting social networking out of the hands of corporations and functioning as a decentralized collective is a good idea - but as I said somewhere else, the ideology that led to this shared goal looks to be problematic. I have no interest in trading capital-fascism for good ol' fashioned fascism.

This is where I am as well. There's a real possibility that .ml is funded intentionally as a training and on-boarding forum for troll farm recruits to get some practice in before they get promoted to reddit and Facebook. I suspect the people behind some of these more notable accounts are different people every month.

Is he a Russian immigrant to Canada, or just a Canadian with Russian ancestry?

His parents left Russia when he was very young. He cannot move to Russia because he has a cushy job in the health sector and also because he's generally lazy and doesn't actually want to move to Russia, no money there.

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

If you’re into brainrot might as well install tiktok and watch skibidi toilet knockoffs, still better content than tankie hogwash

Man I blocked yungthos ages ago. I don’t know if I’d even be going on lemmy if I couldn’t block people like him.

I'm honestly surprised the account didn't take some time off after the election.

I add them manually on the Voyager app you should try it! I think Connect has it as well

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.

These are the people who call South Korea for "Occupied Korea". Anything will always circle back to something bad the US does.

All you need is to look at their post history to see the clear agenda. I hope he gets paid. Otherwise it's just sad.
