Russians, without any double meanings that Russian sympathizers could jump in and say "aha, racists!" or "aha, russophobes!" over.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

Muscovites means people from Moscow.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago

The two places in Russia that aren't pro-Ukrainian war, are Moscow and St Petersburg.

Putins powerbase is sort of the equivalent to Trump or Erdogan. The people in the larger cities don't like him, but the rural areas love him.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He is a Russophobe. Report him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Russophobe because he’s antiPutin and anti-invasion? Tf you smoking tankie

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You are the one sniffing, projecting neofascist.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Sure, you just keep gargling Putin's cock and calling everyone else fascists. lmao. I'm a Marxist. Proud anti-imperialist. Full-on America-bad here. But I'm not going to defend a literal authoritarian dictator and an obvious war of aggression. You 🤡

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why do you libs always go with the homophobic insults?

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

Lmao sure. Keep simping for the dictator that literally locked up Pussy Riot and LGBTQ folks for existing. Your projection and false concern bullshit doesn’t work for people with more than two neurons to rub together.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I said ”homophobia is bad”, somehow you interpreted that as me being a Putin fan. OK.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol you are a transparent troll, is why.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe you should stop using homophobic insults if you're trying to present yourself as someone who cares about LGBT people.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I truly don’t give a fuck what you suggest, you tankie fuck. Nothing I said is homophobic. It’s not the dick sucking that’s bad, it’s who your mouth Is attached to, moron.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do you know I'm a tankie? I could be the world's biggest Biden stan for all you know.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Well I’m fine living with my assumption based on this conversation, tankie. It seems to make you mad, so, if the shoe fits. 🤡🤡🤡

And the other queer people arrested? Tankie fuck.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't know why you think opposing America's forever wars equals claiming that their targets are perfect utopias. The US literally has over 20% of the world's prison population working as slaves for private profit. Why do you libs always try to use the gays to push your far right agendas? A few comments ago you were calling people homophobic slurs. smh

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lmfao the projection is insane. Where did I ever imply I support America? Fuck America. Fuck the prison industrial complex. But fuck you for playing apologetics for an obvious war of aggression, filled with war crimes, started at the behest of an authoritarian anti-lgbt dictator that happily kills his own people to maintain his tenuous grasp on power. This isn’t hard.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where did I ever imply I support America?

You're repeating transparently false American propaganda. It's America's proxy war, they've openly admitted this on countless occasions. Do you honestly contend that the US is pouring billions into this because they're humanitarians? Is it? Answer this.

Russia tried for almost a decade to pursue peace in the face of US/NATO aggression. We later learned from Hollande and Merkel that the US had no intention of allowing for peace. This is recorded historical fact.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What’s historical fact is Putin openly talking about wanting to annex Ukraine since before he came to power, and the documented war crimes and atrocities he’s committed in power before, up to and during this war of aggression that - for SoMe ReAsON - you orcs support. Get. Fucked. Tankie. Fuck. 🤡😂

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wall of irrelevant gibberish.

Do you deny the historical fact that I was talking about?

Why can't you answer simple questions?

Why are you so angry?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This isn’t a debate, I don’t need to “answer” anything. I’m here to laugh at you losers tripping over yourselves to deny what is obvious to anyone with eyes: that you’re backing an authoritarian dictator invading a European country in an obvious war of aggression. And you’re losing, tankie fuck 😂😂😂

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

Sorry but this is a debate. If you want to conceded just don't answer and we can all take it that you've conceded.

I’m here to laugh at you

Yet all you're managing to do is rage and cry and hurl homophobic abuse.

We'll see if you can answer your questions or if you've lost.

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

And for the record I happily suck dick. That you brain dead orcs see that as an insult just shows your full ass. It’s whose cock you’re sucking is (obviously) the problem, war crime apologist.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And for the record I happily suck dick.

This is about as believable as you being a Marxist. You were caught being a homophobe plain and simple. Please stop with the homophobia.

war crime apologist.

Show me anywhere I was a war crime apologist Karen. Maybe you should take a few deep breaths before replying. You're losing it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t give a fuck what you believe, tankie fuck. Your concern trolling while simping for a country and dictator that literally imprisons people like me will never not be obvious, meaningless hypocritical trolling. You christofascist Putinists all give actual communists a bad name. Marx would be ashamed.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where have I been simping? I'm just telling the truth here and you're balling crying all over your keyboard because you can't handle reality.

What even is "Putinism"? There's no such thing. You've been just trained to repeat nonsense words because you're credulous and hate filled.

OoOoo THREE responses! 🤡 You suuuuure showed me! That MUST mean you’re right, and not just a big dim tankie fuck whose worn out the patience of those around you. Get fucked tankie, you’re on the wrong side of history, and i absolutely love how mad you are that you and yours are losing this safe space.

So have we calmed down any?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Less of the homophobia dickhead.

This is America's war.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tell that to the Ukrainians, Putin apologist tankie fuck.

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

Oh they know already. Those Nazis who support the USA and those who oppose it, both groups know full well.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

🤡 that actually buys the “Denazification” line. hoooooly fuck you are dense. Keep downing that Putin propaganda.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hold on. Wait a sec. What do you mean? Do you think Ukraine isn't crawling with Nazis or what? You can't possibly be still on last spring's yank war propaganda?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you are a proud anti-imperialist Marxist, I am Karl Marx and strip you of your Marxist label right now. You are a weasel and a grifter, and a useful idiot of genocidal Anglo empire.

In a few days you weasels will experience horror, if you think this is too much. And your brain will either be dewormed or you get contained in some obscure Lemmy instance, or go back to Reddit, the CIA hometown.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

LMFAO sure, sure sure. Totally coherent. You fucking clown. You think this is bad, just wait until the API is depreciated, till Apollo shuts down, till the NSFW subs are driven out. It brings me nothing but joy to see you losers drowned out and chased out of your cesspool as the next Eternal September sets in.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Pretty sure that describes pretty much the entire planet now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Anglosphere != the whole world. Anglosphere is like 10-12% of the world's population controlling 85-90% of the world's news media.

Wrong, the world stands with Russia. You're in a bubble.
