Bwahahaha you're one to talk. Please if other people read this look at the sources theyve posted.
Wdym? I mean yea, I post western sources lik eonline for unimportant things but 4 politics I stick to good non-western sources
Suuuuure
Lol you weren't kidding, that's literally what he posts. That and sites that still uses the .su tld. Can't make this shit up
*she tyvm
Women can be communists too fyi
Communists don't post fascist state news like RT.
the fascists are in the US and EU, not to mention our Banderite boys.
More like authoritarian. If you were a communist you'd care about the people in Russia, not the government. If you are a communist, you're a pretty shit one.
and this is probably unironically said by someone from the land of the free.
From? Yes. What does that have to do with anything? It's about what you agree with, not where you're from, right?
Also, again, whataboutism. You can't defend yourself, so you go on offense. Why don't you care about the people? You're a pretty poor communist if you can have comrades in oppressive places, and only defend authoritarian governments who abuse their citizens.
Am I supposed to believe your crocodile tears for the poor Russian people? LOL
The RuZZians orThe orcs as you dehumanising Russophobes call them constantly?
OK then, let's have some facts.
Despite being political enemies they understand that the coup and NATO expansion with nukes in ukraine is unacceptable.
So they pragmatically support Putin in this case. And so do I.
But I guess NATO nukes threatening the Russian people and NATO bases all around them is OK with you, not hypocritical at all.
Just as nobody in the west cared about the ethnic Russians (35%+ of ex-ukraine) getting bombed by Azov nazis.
No, just as the zionists claim history starts from oct 7, the war only started when Russia intervened.
Totally nothing had happened before.
And also you would rather continue this lost war to the last poor ukrainian too, as Lindsey Graham wants.
As long as it hurts the Russians.
Who's getting abused here?
And talking about communists:
The communist party, despite being opposition to Putin is not forbidden in Russia.
Free and democratic ukraine banned no less than 11 parties.
Put union leaders in jail, etc..
Many others followed, left and right-wing.
See, that's how you argue, with facts, you on the contrary can't defend yourself.
A cringe insinsere appeal to emotion doesn't cut it.
No. You're supposed to care. That's the fucking point. You're strawmaning, because you're an asshole who doesn't care about the people, which is explicitly not what a communist would do.
Yeah... About that. Ukraine used to have nukes (from when they were a member of the USSR, you might recall). They gave them up to Russia for promises, which weren't kept. It's unacceptable for them to have them? Why? Why can Russia? Why did they give them up?
This argument is complete bullshit. They aren't going to be given nukes, but even if this were the case, the argument that they shouldn't have them is ridiculous, when they were given to Russia and Russia uses nukes to bully them and other nations. Either it's not OK for Russia to have them either or it is OK for Ukraine to (or you have an opinion based in bias, not logic).
No. I want Russia to return to its own territory. They should end it. It's in their power, but the elites are using the people for political gain (like always). You're class awareness is really fucking bad.
Sure. There aren't fair elections they could win though. Them being not explicitly banned doesn't mean shit. They're implicitly banned.
More whataboutism. Why are you discussing Ukraine here? This is about Russia. You can't put up a legitimate communist argunent for what they're doing, so you just say "what about Ukraine!"
my man, being consistent isn't what's important for members of the far-right like /u/Bloomcole , /u/npdean, and /u/bubblybubbles it's about 'winning', from these nothing internet arguments to finally living in a slave-state; everything coming from their mouth-holes or dripping from their ichor crusted fingers are just magic words meant to get there, and sucker in all the well-meaning idiots on the sidelines
ahaaaha far right LOL
Smartest horseshoe believer.
It's the US and our EU vasals that are far right, And never can you have a discussion with you mouthpieces.
Since the facts are not in your favor supporting ukronazis that terrorised the civilians for 8 years as a proxy for the imperialist US regime.
Then they throw some insults out of impotence while all my comments get removed by the Lemmy censors.
Our free and democratic western values!
Pathetic jokers
LOL I never laughed so much at a western mouthpiece.
I love the emotional 'you should care' BS.
So sad, aaah well, live and learn for being a US proxy to be used.
IDC you can all die and you deserve it while I get a cocktail, cheers losers
Wow, you aren't even pretending to be a communist now. Well, at least the mask has fallen.
To be clear though, this isn't an emotional ploy. This is what a communist would do. They care about the people being used by those in power, no matter where they are. Again, you seem to have absolutely zero class consciousness. You use the term communist to describe yourself as a badge of honor, not as an actual descriptor. You aren't a communist.
Someone from the US banana republic with its pathetic uniparty system with a fascist and slightly less fascist (already ridiculed by Marx in 1891) side has no idea what communism is.
You people just throw words around with the understanding of a geopolitics and history of a toddler.
And you would know even less about what Russian people think.
OC that doesn't stop a pretentious american from speaking for them.
You haven't read word of theory.
Some edgy 'anarchist' teen with a Che t-shirt isn't a communist.
Communists are never on the side of US imperialism.
Certainly not their fascist proxies.
They are also not 'the people'.
The Soviets dealth with them in WW2 while the US/UK saved most of them and rehabilitated their friends.
They welcomed fascist regimes in NATO from Greece, Spain, Portugal supported plenty more around the world.
That mask has long fallen for anyone who isn't politically illiterate. And now their age of bullying and power is over they desperately try to get Europe in a war again to harm their enemy.
Their usual cowarldy way of letting others do the fighting.
They will fail again and Russia (even if not communist) will deal with them again.
You can cry and pretend you're for 'the people' or non-existent 'western democratic values' all you want.
You are supporting fascism.
Cool comment. None of it matters.
Well, at least you agree with that. Damn. A bunch of "what about", strawmaning, and no true scotsman in there just for you to finally agree anyway.
I have never said I support the US by the way. You're just trying to tie me to that so you don't have to defend yourself, because you still haven't. You're not a fucking communist. You're a russophile authoritarian. Anything Russia does you approve of. It doesn't matter how much the bourgeoisie use and abuse the proletariat. It's fine as long as it's Russia.
I sure hope you're not a Scotsman.
Definitely not a 'true' one, they wouldn't lick the boot of their UK imperialist masters. Who in turn lick the boot of their US masters.
I don't know if you're playing dumb or actually dumb, but no true scotsman is a logical fallacy, where you say someone isn't a true [thing] because they don't meet ever precise definitions you make up.
Also, you do realize Scotland is part of the UK, right?
Anyway, this is all just you trying to distract from the fact that you can't defend the actions of Russia, or your starting position. You have to constantly shift things and hope people forget. You aren't a communist if you support the bourgeoisie using the proletariat for stupid self-centered goals. It doesn't matter where we're from. The proletariat everywhere is being used and abused by the elite. A communist would know this. It doesn't matter if you're in Russia or the US. They're using us for their own gain, and they don't care about us.
Fair point, it's probably skewed more towards women once you consider how many of the men march off to the meat grinder for a failed dream that died 30 years ago.
Are you ready to watch the soviet union split apart a second time?
LOL how many ukro teens can you drag ogf the streets to please Lindsey Graham
And it's the US shithole falling apart, so again that's pure projection.
Are these the ukranian teens you're referring to?

Lol are we just going to trade photos of all the nazis on both sides of that war? This could take all week
LOL Every single time the same one PMC dude, he is not in the Russian army is he?
This while the ukros have multiple fascist batallions in their army.
Guess what, in any huge country there are nazis.
Should I post the many US marines with SS and swastika flags?
The russian nazis are all fighting for ukraine:

Really, you're not going to win this one buddy
I don't know anything about this person, and I'll say Fascists are drawn towards the military, because it let's them have the ultimate power over others. This happens everywhere. However, those aren't Nazi swastikas. They are swastikas, but I don't know they're meaning. They're common symbols all over the world (literally, from everywhere in Africa and Eurasia to the Americas). I don't know what these ones are, except for not being the ones the Nazis used. Is it still a reference to that? Idk. I think if you want Nazi swastikas you just get them though. I don't think getting a slightly different swastika to still show your support of Nazism is a great idea. If there's other info than just his tattoos, feel free to share.
LOL
you're a joke , go be a joke somewhere else
I'm not the one who's a joke here.
You are, but you lack the intellect to realise it, in typical american fashion.
Ignorance is bliss.
Yeah, because I'm the one lacking intelligence because I can tell the difference between curved and straight arms and clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation in a swastika.
Nazis had one swastika they tended to use, and this isn't it. It has been a symbol for all kinds of things throughout the world in this form though.
I case you actually are interested in learning, here's a wiki page on it, which does include it's use by Nazis, explicitly not in this style. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
Again, I don't know who this is. If you want to provide actual evidence then fine, but this image doesn't prove anything. It provides further evidence if you have any, but it isn't worth anything in it's own.
I have to devote my life to Lemmy?
LOL suuuure haven't heard that excuse before.
And this nazi has his swastika both ways, are you dumb and blind?
Now tell me, can you spot the nazi eagle and swastika patch?
Or is it some kind of 'rune' LOL
Jeez you nazi bootlickers.
Why are you all such cowards?
Just say you love nazis, we know
Yep, that definitely looks like a Nazi eagle. Not the best picture, but that sure does appear to be what it is. Again, I just asked for more information if you had it, because those were not nazi swastikas.
Oh and the nice KKK patch in the first picture?
Conveniently missed that too or do you have some nonsense to whitewash that too?
Bet you have one just like it.
