EDIT: no, I don’t sympathize with nazis (neither I sympathize with those who call everyone nazi when they’re losing an argument ;)

        So many tankies on here, flat out support for the invasion of Ukraine, claiming that the west is less free than China, shitting on democracy/voting… So much shit.

          You forgot that every discussion about Ukraine/Russia is steered towards talking about US imperialism.

            One guy just kept posting a link to the Wikipedia page on American imperialism over and over in his comments.

            Talk about a one track mind.

              Well clearly if you didn’t read my random Wikipedia article the first time then clearly you will by the tenth, right?

            It goes both ways though, anyone critical of US imperialism is quickly called a tankie. I’m happy Ukraine is getting help but it’s annoying I constantly have to state that the moment I want to talk shit about the us military. Any kind of talk is becoming seriously toxic and the ones that are most vocal about hexbear users are usually just as bad.

            Screaming tankie at the top of your lungs is just as cringe as screaming lib imo

            Yeah I wonder why, maybe it’s because they are directly responsible for the current war. Maybe the US should stop arming extreme right wing groups whenever they want to destabilize a region like they did in Afghanistan and Iraq and in Ukraine prior to the war. Nato is proudly posting images of soldiers with the black sun on their uniforms on twitter but I guess that’s completely irrelevant.

                Ukraine is a sovereign country and Russia has no claim to it. Defending Ukraine is the right thing to do and that’s not debatable. Saving innocent lives and preventing further genocide is a good thing. I don’t see why these fucking idiots have to gargle Putin’s balls so much. Yes, America bad. We know. That’s a problem for later. Right now children are being murdered by Russia. That’s far more important to stop right now.

              Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia is responsible for the current war. Stop drinking the commie kool-aid.

              You can whine about NATO and geopolitics all you want, at the end of the day Russia could simply have chosen not to invade Ukraine and NATO would not be dumping the entire alliance’s 40 year stockpile into the conflict.

                You libs are the absolute fucking worst. When did I say that the US is solely responsible? Ofcourse the majority of the blame lies with Russia and Putin, that doesn’t excuse what the US has done to contribute to this war happening. And this isn’t some new thing, they have been doing this for decades and constantly destabilizing other regions for their own profit. You should try for once to think a bit deeper about an issue than the absolute surface.

              This was the response I was expecting. Idk, maybe I’ll just start out my sarcastic comments with “hey y’all, just so you know, the following comment is meant to be read sarcastically, lol, hope you enjoy”

                Recognising sarcasm depends a lot on tone of voice in spoken conversations, thus a tradition in internet discussions has developed to put a /s behind the statement that is intended to be sarcasm. The slash is in imitation of closing HTML tags, i.e. it is to be read as “end of sarcasm”. Putting it behind instead of before the sarcasm grants the added benefit of many people still falling for it at first.

      If it’s the defederation BS I’m thinking of it was regarding a specific model for whom they’d already age verified and the one instance admin was simply still not okay with it because they looked too young. Which like, that’s their choice as an instance admin, but also that’s a pretty kneejerk reaction to defederate and immediately announce the defederation

        … that was from over a month ago. Doubt it. Also I’m not sure that anyone has enough info to know if it was a bad call or not but it was not very recent considering how many defederations have been discussed since.
