I agree. They should look at Lemmy.ml to see what y’all are opposing.

Thank you for your accidental recruitment efforts.

[–] Imhotep@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I'm glad we can agree on this.

I was on .ml about 2 years before .world existed and discovered tankies and their ideas

russia amassing troops on the ukrainian border? just exercises, don't believe western propaganda.
Days later, invasion. well no it's actually ukraine invading russia (I shit you not)
oh well ok it's a "military operation", but that's because they're nazis, and bio weapon laboratories to attack russia. Etc,etc

If you have 2 braincells compare tankie and far right talking points, and underline the similarities

compare tankie and far right talking points

Right:

the trans are poisoning our children

Left:

They didn't say "far right and left", they said "far right and tankie".

Please link the upvoted opinions that you claim exist like "Ukraine is the one invading Russia" and agreeing it's "just a military operation".

You won't, because you're making this shit up. And I know you won't because I've challenged far too many people to provide evidence of the wide variety of made up shit and none of them ever have.

it's most likely from ~~yogsaron~~ yogtos or agreeable landscape

I took screenshots, I'll try to dig for them

Edit: so it was Donbas invasion, my bad, it's hard to remember bullshit. if I find enough screenshots maybe I'll make a post to show what c/worldnews on .ml looked like before the reddit migration. Here you see some resistance, but believe me it was mainly tankies, and those absurd posts were upvoted. Sometimes people were trying to inject some sanity, but against the incessant flow of upvoted propaganda, would cash out.

Typical post mocking the absurdity of an invasion (they were a dime a dozen):

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

NATO was amassing troops & missile deployments on the border with Ukraine for years. Since Obama.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Almost like Ukraine has been invaded by them before, perhaps during said presidents second term?

[–] Carl@lemm.ee -4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

For like three months before the invasion, Western sources were egging it on with everything they had. Tankies mostly got it wrong by assuming that Putin would be smart enough not to take the bait, because we all recognized that it would be a disastrously bad idea.

Oh hey we were right about that much at least.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 months ago

Look at the mental gymnastics required so they can end the comment with

Oh hey we were right

And feel better about themselves. Pathetic

[–] Edie@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago

They should check out hexbear too.
