This shit has seriously gone on too long. People who continue to cling to the "10,000 dead crushed by tanks hosed i to the gutter" bs are cranks. It's jews control the banks, chemtrails, the earth is flat, the moon isn't real level of crank shit and unless you're feeling very indulgent and someone is asking in good faith it can be dismissed as equally serious to that kind of crank shit.

If anyone wants a good example of this brainworm freshly-regurgitated by our .World friends: https://lemmy.world/comment/10437862

Tankies, famous for pretending Tank Man media exists only in the form of one picture. Also one of them says "Peking" for some fucking reason.

Oh god this entire thread is full of gems

These people are not socialists. It’s all just right wing agitprop. It’s extremely obvious.

I assume hexbear is just the russian troll factory.

I can read Russian and I sometimes read Russian media and it uses almost exactly the same topics for their people. There is a new one that they started to repeat recently and it’s that Zelensky is an illegitimate president, because his term has ened.

It’s weird that those forums are in English, reading the insane takes and rhetoric. I also noticed many of the accounts are just prolific posters, making the community seem small to me. Also saw an account with a trans flag, which is surprising they would accommodate such a person or such a person would have those weird views on lemmygrad.

The utility is that they use hexbear and .ml as intro exercises before they promote the trolls to Facebook or reddit.

Last part is true and even more insane/sad because these people are all terminally online gossip mongers that Pol Pot would have immediately executed.

You own a computer? You don’t work in the fields? You wear glasses?

Yep, literally executed.

Zelensky is an illegitimate president, because his term has ened.

Isn't that like... The basics of how a democratic mandate works?

Not that I've ever seen it as a topic here but still. If Rishi Sunak continues as ~~president~~ PM beyond his term time I'm calling him illegitimate. In fact I'm calling him illegitimate now and forever because we literally never got to vote for the fuck. He has/had no mandate.

EDIT: Fuck me libs jump to the dumbest conclusions over the smallest shit.

Lmao I was running on 36 hours of being awake when I posted that. I currently reside in Woking if you're wondering, but only for 2 more weeks or I wouldn't be saying that here lmao.

Also a mod over on /r/greenandpleasant, probably banned you at least once if this is the kind of conclusion you jump to over stupid shit.
