Comment on 2/10 people on Lemmy, is that you?

This reminds me of talking to tankies on Lemmy, which is probably a futile endeavour.

For example, they seem to think that Russia’s imperialist invasion of Ukraine is justified. They think that Russia murdering Ukrainians with missiles and drones is justified. I can tell them that these actions are wrong, but they won’t listen.

They don’t see it as imperialistic. With other motives it’s easier to justify.

  Yeah I guess they see it as the plucky underdog of Russia taking on the decadent oppressive behemoth of the West. Invading Ukraine isn’t taking on the West though. It’s just Putin’s attempt to subjugate Ukrainians to the will of Moscow.

living through .ml during the first days ruzi invasion of Ukraine was quite something. At that point I came to conclusion that .ml is irredeemable and left.

Just look at the comments that aged like fine barrel of milk: lemmy.ml/post/180102 sadly the wayback machine didn’t archive the most toxic drivel I’ve seen there. At this point it was very apparent that .ml is going the way of all social reject social networks like voat or minds etc. there’s a point where a social network crosses this threshold and becomes irredeemable.

yeah you’re not gonna convince people who have the violence and bloodshed running through their veins; where would you even start to discuss that?

i think international law should be based on some principles that are easy to see for everybody, the whole russia situation is all fucked up and it’s largely because people in russia often have such a bad quality of life that it turns into “seeking an external enemy to blame it on” which then leads to invasion.

This was part of why I wanted an unencrypted “X-Domestic” HTTP header. Cannot be sent across national borders, under penalty of…wrist slaps.

Not a full betrayal of one’s identity, but it could at least be used to declare “Hey, I’m a resident of the country you’re in, talking about our politics”. We know there’s an abundance of foreign manipulation going on, we just don’t know how much exactly.
