Fuck it, I'll bite. I don't usually indulge this kind of sealion stuff but I'm bored and waiting for my hair to dry before going to sleep.

  1. Support for compromise (Hexbear)
  2. NATO is winning, and that is bad
  3. NATO is losing, and that is good
  4. "By abandoning neutrality, Ukraine essentially violated the basis for its independence."
  5. Literally a post about how redditors can't believe they are real people who really believe this stuff. Number 5 top all time post in the sub.

All of these posts were gathered from the "top all time" posts in communities about Ukraine in hexbear and lemmygrad.

    As a counterexample, here is a post "How Russia became far right?" where everyone agrees that Russia has a far right government, even though some communist sympathy remains in the population. I'd think that shows that they do not support Putin as communists, or even at all.

    There is some good faith discussion in those subs, but when confronted with an enemy they close ranks and default to "US bad, anything the US hates we love"

    Yeah, but that can be a valid tactic. The "enemy of my enemy is my friend" and all that.

    I'm not a state socialist but the US is a terrorist regime that absolutely needs to be checked. So even though I don't like many things about the governments of Russia or China or Iran, I am rooting for them to... well to survive without being completely co-opted. Can you imagine if the US completely dominated those countries? How incredibly bad it would get?

    I've party saw it when the USSR fell, there was a counter balance missing which I believe directly led to the social democratic parties in the US and EU embracing "the third way" (neoliberalism).

    It's rare for someone to admit they were wrong, but sudden silence is usually the same thing.

    I mean, give me a chance. I have a life outside Lemmy, and it's a lot to look into.

    Fair enough. Without a "I'm looking into it" type response I assume rage quit.

    To be fair, I backed myself into a corner here. I've been procrastinating because I really don't want to immerse myself in tankie forums. But as I said, I'm not willing to accept the claims at face value. So I just keep putting it off 😭

    I should have just kept my thoughts to myself lol.
