Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I am dumbfounded that adults think this way. Two people actually spoke rationally, but the rest seem to be smoking meth or extremely callow.

Are you suggesting someone starts WW3 by shooting Putin down? Because that’s what would happen.

Would it though? If you cut the head off the snake, will (can?) the body keep following its orders?

These people have put so little thought into it, or are just so breathtakingly racist, that they apparently can't concieve of a Russian person creating something called "a contingency plan". There's unearned confidence, and then there's calling Dunning and Krueger stupid hack fucks to their faces before reenacting the dril motorcycle tweet with nuclear fallout.

Also, snakes are notorious for still being able to bite after decapitation

These people genuinely believe Putin is some kind of autocrat lmao.

How they can simultaneously reconcile the fact that oligarchs control Russia with the myth that Putin is all-powerful and controls everything is mindboggling.

They really do seem to believe that everything Russia does is because Putin demands it and that if he were removed it would stop doing those things smh.

Great Man Theory is a blight.

I have ze german version for you: germany both has insane control on the media (as is evident by gaza reports) and completely blocked all russian media because of dIsInFoRmAtIoN. You need a non totalitarian dns if you want to read rt for example.

Oh boy, wait til you see what some user is spouting about Niger taking control of their own Gold and the Sahel in general. It's wild.

[–] pyromaiden@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh I'm sure it's a supremely racist tirade about how Niger's resources belong to France and anti-West Africans are Russian puppets with no agency of their own.

Not anymore lol he got banned from lemmy.ml for posting racist shit about Mexico, cried about it to db0, got banned from there, and then I reached out to the admin of his home instance and got him banned there too.

Mfer tried to say I had mental health issues for snooping his profile out of curiosity and then calling out the first two racist af comments I saw.

Yeah bud I do have issues and one of the big ones is an inability to tolerate racist losers mucking up my last refuge online from their bullshit.

snooping his profile

How dare you read the things I post publicly and use that as an indication of my actual beliefs instead of wasting your time with my disingenuous arguments!

I don’t even like Putin, but the way that neoclassical liberals obsess over him as if he’s some evil genius who wants to blow up the Earth is pathetic.
