lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad users verbally fellate contemporary and historical autocratic mass-murderers they deem to be “leftists”, or "great leaders and allies to the cause", most recently being Vladimir Putin, Xi Jingping, and Kim Jong Un.

They are, in reality, bitch-made invertebrates who don’t even have the arm-strength to lift their Molotov-sippy-cups out of their premium-outdoor-brand backpacks, let alone form meaningful opinions on economics, political philosophy, or geopolitical reality.

More of this weird mythological fearmongering. Absolutely nobody on any of those sites believe that Vladimir fucking Putin is a leftist. You are pulling this assertion straight from an uninformed ass.

Ffs. Yes, supporting Russia's invasion is a step too far. However, there is a valid point to be made regarding the West's geopolitical maneuvers leading up to the invasion. NATO expanding east after promising not an inch further, supporting regime change in Ukraine, crossing more of Russia's "red lines," etc. Again, I want to stress that the invasion is morally reprehensible, but it's clear why they did it from a geopolitical standpoint.

Nobody is talking about why Russia did what they did and realistically there's nothing majorly wrong with NATO, it's an alliance of mostly EU countries to band together to prevent another world war and to protect themselves from "another Germany" and Russia has done absolutely nothing over the past 20+ years to assure people that they won't attack NATO EU countries. Quite the opposite in fact.

In any case, I have them parroting Russia narratives/misinformation here: https://lemmy.world/post/27314050 here: https://lemmy.world/post/27012640 and here https://lemmy.world/post/27288224 shows censoring of people even merely express that EU is also right to be concerned of Chinese and Russian militaries on their front lawn

My dear downvoted friend! I think this perfectly answers @[email protected] question. If you have any viewpoint outside what is "political correct" you get downvoted, even just saying what the NATO Secretary General Jens "Warmonger" Stoltenberg gloated himself:

So he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders.

So what are socialists to do? They can't help it! And the only thing liberals hate more than fascists are socialists, especially the dirtbag left when they get a little snippy.

Absolutely nobody on any of those sites believe that Vladimir fucking Putin is a leftist.

I have seen evidence to the contrary.

The bad part is that they support him, whether or not they consider him a real leftist is less important

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

hey look a post from a lib that's so mad about internet forums not following the narrative that they can't contain their homophobia and misogyny 📷

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I'm gonna show your comment to my wife, and one of my best friends, at whose gay wedding, I will be speaking. Congrats! You're in the speech! Let's face it, we all need to laugh more in life, and judging by your reaction, I prefer to do it at your expense.

So please, cry harder, because I need more material!

🫶🏽🥂

'jokes on you, I have gay friends'

-the person posting homophobia

maybe you should read your comments first at your hypothetical wedding, see how it goes over.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How the hell are you reading homophobia into the original comment?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (4 children)

'verbally fellating" is kind of the tipoff

the misogyny is the second paragraph

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Everybody hear that? All fellatio is automatically gay. Anybody recieving or giving is gay, there is no such thing as a straight man and woman using their mouth during sex.

It's true. Pretty sure I read that on an Andrew Tate post before I left Twitter, I believe he is some kind of gay authority?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As I've said before, it doesn't matter if you suck dick or not. It does matter whose dick your sucking (proverbially), which in this case would be Putin, Jingping, et. al.

In the last year I saw way more people being supportive of genocidal libs like Biden and Harris, I judge those people pretty harshly too

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"wHaTaBoUt USA, iSrAeL, nAtO, etc.?"

One can hate "The West", their people, their foreign policy, and their economics.

Doesn't mean one should suck dictators' proverbial dicks because they're "not The West".

banning people for being weirdly racist/homophobic/misogynistic about geopolitical enemies doesn't equal uncritical support for those state enemies

This right here is why ML has the reputation it does.

You are literally inventing things to be outraged about. Do you just really enjoy conflict and drama?

I intend to! What a perfect moment to highlight the exploits of edgelords on the internet. I'm sure I'll be strenuously heckled and ostracized for condemning and deriding supporters of Putin, the CCP, and the DPRK on the internet there.

It's in June, back home in Chicago, so it'll be a joyous affair, of which you're an expert of, no doubt.

I'm sure homophobic insults will go over great with the people you associate with.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

There's nothing homophobic about what I said.

Damn it all. They didn't disclose how I was supposed to behave during the sign up process.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah it's a big trick because the ML owners are Tankie scum but they're also the lead developers and I think the own the page which recommends instances.
