  • That is true and you are right to say it.

  • I always get really frustrated seeing the same places that hate cops openly and will outright say ACAB, and pro-queer and other good things, also spreading western propaganda about bad countries. Its like, man, if you could just get over this ONE hurdle.

  • I mean, one has like 20 other partners and the other one has one other partner so its an open polycule I guess lol, though I dont know any of the first's other partners. I do exchange Star Trek memes with the second girlfriend's girlfriend though.

  • Putin has threatened nukes. Biden has not threatened nukes.

    You dont need to say the words "I threaten nukes!" to threaten nukes. Thats the whole point of mutually assured destruction. Merely having nukes is nuclear terrorism.

    America was fighting a fascist enemy, not against fascism itself. America practically invented fascism.

    Well we agree on something lol.

    There are no limit of ways to criticize the US, but it's slowly, marginally getting better. The US is slowly progressing.

    The US is demonstrably getting worse on trans rights, an issue I assume'd you'd care about.

    And its definitely not gotten better about imperialist power projection overseas.

  • Unless you hate queer people, and hate being reminded they exist, and you want them to be removed from the world.

    I am a bisexual man. I have two girlfriends and they are both trans. I have a trans cousin. And a litany of trans and otherwise queer friends, on and offline. The way you used queer in your post came off slurish whether you intended it or not. If you want to do liberalism solipism and not believe I could genuinely hold these positions as an american queer go ahead, but I do. I can both hate the Vladimir Putin and the Russian government for what they are doing to their queer population (I am actually very upset and offended by that, much more than your slightly slurish use of the word queer), and recognize that America and NATO do more evil in the world in general than Russia could ever dream of. And that if I want to advance the cause of Communism, the current imperialist world order lead by the United States needs to fall first.

    No one from Hexbear has posted anything nuanced

    People have posted about the history of the War in Donbass, Ukraine's Nazi problems that the western media was admitting to right up until the invasion, and NATO encirclement plenty.

    Y'all are literally more offended than anyone would criticize Russia than anything else.

    I would like to remind you that this is a thread about the Ukraine war. In other threads, believe it or not, we talk about other subjects.

  • I don't have to dig back very far to find US atrocities actually. The Afgan war ended two years ago and was one of the counterpoints brought up to you.

    But the idea that the United States is acutally better today than when they dropped the bombs is rich. At least we were nominally fighting fascism then.

    ETA: OK so if by "nuclear terrorism" you mean... the mere act of having nukes and the implicit threat of using them. America has nukes too. Today. In 2023. Or is it only nuclear terrorism when bad country has nukes?

  • Jesus I really doubt someone with Fae in their name is cishet but you used that word really slurishly.

    simping for a dictatorship

    I'm not. Looking at the Ukraine War with the nuance and knowledge of geopolitics it deserves isn't simping for Putin. I hate the Putin regime, especially what they do to their queer community. Its not like Ukraine is that much better on queer issues though?

    My posting history goes back three years before federation. You'll find very few of my posts were about the Ukraine war.

  • My favorite part is saying that Russia exports "Nuclear terrorism" when saying that Russia is worse than... the only country that has dropped a nuclear bomb.

  • You're counting both sides but then blaming only Russia lol? Hard to take that seriously. Give us Ukrainian deaths, preferably only civilian deaths, and then we might have a conversation.

    Russia's primary exports are murder, lies, and nuclear terrorism.

    That would be the United States actually. Especially the last thing since Russia has never nuked anyone and America has.

  • You made the extraordinary claim. Your job to provide proof.

    Also I'm an American communist from New England. One of the posts on my profile is about weird shit in the American Pie movies. Another recent one you can actually see is about Skyrim. Clearly troll farm shit. (I'd point out the idea that the Kremlin would bother to astroturf lemmy is INSANE, but that ones been falling on deaf ears because you all are so self important).

  • the aggressor country is doing its own military recruitment.

    Conscripting prisoners and shit is also abhorrent. We shouldn't have to say it anytime we criticize what Ukraine is doing though. Especially since what Ukraine is doing is the subject of the fucking thread.

  • You honestly think less civilians were killed in all those things COMBINED than by Russia? Really? That's actually one of the most wild liberal claims I've ever seen, and thats saying something. You've lost attachment to reality.

  • My minority, lgbtqia+, suffers daily in Russia

    I'm going to let someone more educated on the geopolitics involved handle the rest of this (hopefully someone will) but i really want to zero in on this because.

    there are like, 2 cishet people on all of Hexbear. Its like the most queer space on the internet thats not explicitly only for queer people.. It is AGRESSIVLY pro-trans, and purged the slightest hints of transphobia in its early days. The admin team is 100% queer i'm pretty sure.

    We think the oppression of queer people in Russia is bad. Whatever support an individual Hexbear has for Russia, its not for Putin's regime or the Russian government. It is, as you yourself say, opposition to NATO. Again, I'm not going to get into the why of that, but please don't imply that we support the Russian government's oppression of queer people.

  • As for Ukrainians calling all Russians orcs I cannot blame them after the horrors of Bucha, Olevnika, Mariupol, the endless targeting of infrastructure, all while the general Russian population not only doesn't care but openly support it.

    Rape of Nanking = Japanese internment is ok, got it. You have confirmed my suspicions, thank you.

    But you would have cried foul over Poles cursing Germans in 1945 too pointing out innocent Germans did possibly exist, so I don't care too much.

    No I wouldnt have because i recognize the difference in materially different situations.

    I am personally against Putin's decision to invade, and DEFINITLY against any warcrimes commited. Though I will say, targeting infrastructure is part of war, not a warcrime. And Putin isn't just some evil ork who decided to invade for no reason. There are material reasons why the invasion happened, even if I'm against the decision. And the reasons aren't lebensraum.

  • A good part of the ethnic Russians fight on Ukrainian side.

    The good part of the opressed ethnic minority in a country fights for their opressors. Please do the barest of research on the War in Donbass jesus christ.

  • And if it it racist to point out that Putins regime

    You didn't say Putin's regime, you said Russians. Look who's leaving shit out now?

    And idk how to tell you this but scale matters.

  • I don't know what I'm talking about but you're definitely wrong about it.

    Great way to start your comment, so far 0/10.

    Can't help but notice when someone DID come through with a counter argument you shut it down immediately.

  • The Krelmin and "CCP" do not actually have more power and leeway in the west than western corporations and this should be obvious to you.

  • Please I'm begging you to have even the slightest bit of intellectual curiosity and stop shutting off your mind with thought terminating cliches. Please.
