Ukraine
Rules:
-
No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.
-
Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.
-
Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.
-
Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.
-
Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.
-
Don't just complain about paywalls. If you encounter one, be a sport and link to an archived version instead. Use Firefox + uBlock Origin with the annoyances filters enabled and https://filterlists.com/lists/bypass-paywalls-clean-filter to avoid encountering many in the first place.

How many of these fuckers are wholly owned subsidiaries of Russia?
Russia is extremely good at info manipulation. They have the full support of the auth-right and the auth-left. It's bizarre.
Wholly I don't know, but many to the extent necessary to fuck us up
What's funny, in a morbid way, is that many of these tools don't even realize Russians helped their uplifting not because they like them, but because they see their potential for polarizing Western society and driving it into conflict with itself.
It's still crazy to me that nothing came from the Mueller report. Trump's campaign was being driven by the Russians because him being president would harm America.
And his supporters didn't see anything wrong with that.
Still, waiting for the unredacted version . . .
I'm sure a great majority are more morally inept than twisted and unethical. One wishes only that our politicians did not for so long refuse the evidence of their senses with regard to Russia. Even Obama and Clinton thought the Kremlin would come around to their way of doing things in time.
Well. 2019 Zelensky believed he could look Putin in the eyes and make him stop the killing in Donbass. 🌚
But also... That Western idea from 90's that authoritarian regimes will democratize upon being introduced to free market is making me wanna cry.
It really just makes me want to slap six people at random.
they are complicit, they know full well russia was funding them, remember an article on reddit early this year was found out to primarly fund people like poole, loomer,shapiro, they immediately when media silence after that.
A whole bunch were uncovered to have been paid by Putin's Russia to spout these pro Russian talking points (hello Tim pool, feeling nervous yet?) and when uncovered they all acted like the innocent child who just got caught with their hands in the cookie jar
It's so funny to see that the exact same extremist US Americans that would kill you for just using the word "Russia" twenty years ago are the same ones that can't wait to suck Putin's dick. These people are so dumb that they don't even know they're dumb
i remember that poole was one of them, i think chaiya rachik(libsoftiktok) too, she was pretty obvious, jack proesbic, shapiro,and the others went pretty silent for a few weeks, until they could reorient themselves.
Well, one less now.
