- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Why do all these articles sound like propaganda? They are all going for the emotional reaction to make people see Russia as the new enemy of the world. Are we being prepped for a new World War so bankers and elites can make more money?
Yesterday it was how Russia is raping 80 year olds.
I used to wonder why people ignored Nazi crimes until it was too late. But thanks to people like you, now I understand better the class of idiot that led to it
Russian sympathizer can go fuck itself.
Slava Ukrainia, Glory to the heros.
Every new generation is this stupid I guess. I guess it's no point explaining how propaganda works to you.
Go put some sunflower seeds in your pockets and join your friends.
Funny how there are reports of waves of Russian propaganda coming to muddy the message and suddenly we have fools like this claiming that Russia kidnapping children sounds illogical and far fetched.
Enjoy your future, Nazi bitch. Russia made itself the enemy of the world, it doesnt need help in doing so.
There's literal video evidence of Russian soldiers raping, pillaging and killing civilians. Putin and any Russian supporting him can die in a ball of fire.
Box cutter video. Nuff said.
i dunno, lead poisoning sounds fun too
Ahh, but you're immune, right? Because you're special and Very Smart.
Fucking clown shoes.
Probably because you haven't been paying attention to this shit happening the whole war, or don't want to recognize how shitty Russia is and is behaving.
Actually, Russia is trying to make Russia the enemy of the world by illegally invading Ukraine and trying to genocide (this is literally Article II point e, but it's easy to make arguments for most of the other points) it's people.
Sounds like Russia is a shit hole and is only exporting suffering into the country they're trying to take over and destroy it's people.
This is what reporting on a genocide looks like. There's no way to put a happy face on an imperial power trying to wipe an ethnic group and their culture off the face of the Earth as part of a war of conquest.
I think you forgot to put the Echo signs around (((Bankers and Elites))) or is that not the meta anymore?
Don't follow meta... All wars are for profits and population reduction.
Is the new meta to just ignore that people are calling you a Nazi and just carry on with the talking points? It's not a good meta. It just makes you look stupid.
Population reduction: the thing that makes capitalists/ruling class more money! /s
There is literally no economic reason why the ruling class would want a population reduction. They make enough money from the defense contracts awarded during war time. Having their working class get killed is counter productive to their end goals.
as in russian War for land and wealth in Ukraine...so that story about all the Ukraine nazis is false, good to know you've escaped your propaganda tank.
Please excuse us while we cheer for the side that's getting invaded.
What do you define as propaganda? Does it need to be untrue or misleading? Because this article and many others regarding Russia are true and not misleading, but still does accomplish a geopolitical purpose of decreasing the credibility and influence of Russia.
"Oh no! Stop posting facts! It makes me uncomfortable!"

If they didn't want anti-russia propaganda, maybe they shouldn't go around invading other countries?
Ow, my eyes, I think I've rolled them a little too hard
People who rape 80-year-olds can't also rape children. That's in the rapist handbook.
