Lemmy had issues with people attacking the site by posting CSAM so hexbear doesn’t show externally hosted images to prevent that.

Yeah I’m sure the CIA would love to knock over Putin and install a pro-American toady in Russia

Like they did in Ukraine!

Lmfao it’s Wikipedia bwahahaha you idiots are all the same.

They’re not. The U.S. doing a regime change coup and putting Nazis in power in Ukraine in 2014 was imperialism, that’s why people living in parts of Ukraine like Crimea decided they didn’t want to be a part of that country anymore. Also I have no idea what Winnie the Pooh logic is supposed to mean.

Russia isn’t doing imperialism, but America was when it backed the 2014 coup to oust the democratically elected government of Ukraine.

Lying about what, for example?

Tell us more about how we must fight to the last Ukranian to save grand western civilization from the barbaric asiatic hordes of Russians

“Your process is the same that’s why you reach opposite conclusions. Meanwhile my process is better that’s why I agree with the Nazis 50% of the time!” Fuck off dipshit.

Russia and Ukraine are basically the same politically, except for there are more Nazis in power in Ukraine. Prior to the invasion Ukraine was categorically ranked as the most corrupt country in Europe, Zelensky himself is in the Panama papers, they absolutely are not good on gay rights either, they overthrew their democratically elected president in 2014 in a CIA backed coup to put in a government handpicked by the U.S. (we can listen to Nuland picking the government on leaked phone calls), they’ve banned political opposition and all leftist parties (not pro-Russia, just all leftists. Being leftist generally means having semi sane takes like not wanting everybody in the country to die, so they had to be banned by the Nazi regime).

Also I didn’t say Russia is a free country, but Ukraine is easily just as bad if not worse, it’s a total farce to make this about freedom or democracy or any of that shit. Hell if democracy in Ukraine was real the war wouldn’t be happening, Zelensky was elected to end the conflict in the Donbass, he went to the front lines and told the Nazis to lay down arms and they told him to fuck off lol. You can watch the video of that happening.

True, I must have misread that

Lol of all the examples, you pick another group of Nazis as a favorable point of comparison!! Wtf. Thank GOD the Soviets beat the Finnish Nazis in that war and then went on to beat the German Nazis after that.

Also lmao at calling Ukraine a free country compared to Russia, it’s just as fucked politically even prior to this invasion, now they’ve banned all left wing parties and are putting up statues of Nazis all over the place, fuck off, this has nothing at all to do with freedom.

That’s exactly what I said you dingus. You continue COMPARING us to people whose views more closely align with your own. People to your right when we are to your left and you’re fucking projecting your own insufferable right wing tendencies onto us

You’ll find that we are not COVID deniers, we take COVID more seriously than probably 99% of people, you keep trying to compare us to people who’s views we don’t share at all , people whose views are actually closer to your own, which ought to give you at least some pause.

I do!

I don’t immediately discard anything from western sources, but I do give them appropriate scrutiny, and I don’t take baseless allegations from them without the appropriate level of the verifiable evidence as gospel, especially when they have clear geopolitical motivations for their claims. They’ve lied far too many times to be extended the benefit of the doubt.

No, you can’t. I said they never make anything up, you’re actually morally obliged to believe anything they say.

Western sources never make shit up. I heard that Iraqis are throwing babies out of incubators and hiding WMDs.

I just flipped through all 60,000 of them real quick and I gotta say, looks fake and made up. Since it only took you seconds to decide that this was bulletproof evidence of genocide, it only took me a few seconds to determine its fake.

No, that isn’t a clarification. You’re not understanding that the birth rates in the rest of China were already much lower prior to the 10% decrease. The Uighur population has been growing even as the Han population has leveled out, because the Han already had lower birth rates for decades. The Uighur were exempted from the one child policy as well. So yeah, the rest decreased 10%, there was less room to decrease in the first place because birth rates were already very low!
