Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

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.

This generation in Western Europe is totally against Russia. It is necessary to uproot them in their entirety.

Why do you think this happened? This guy has no idea.

When they admit their war crimes we should believe them.

People who've gone so far left they've come full circle and gone fascist and admire authoritarian communist regimes like China and the USSR. Like flat earthers I thought they were a made up joke until I started seeing a while bunch of unironic "Stalin did nothing wrong" type commentary.

No different then when some SS officers admitted to what they did to the “undesirables” and that they deserved it, and would do it again.

Russia is a diseased country that's trying to spread its rot. Why they aren't dealt with more sternly is curious to me

because invading another country usually involves mass civilian deaths and should be avoided as a rule

Huh, Where are all the hexbear tankies?

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 43 points 1 year ago (5 children)

For me? Blocked.

Stalin shipped my relatives to the gulag for being elected representatives in Estonia. Fuck hexbear and fuck tankies.

It seems like something that Putin would want.

[–] Grant_M@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yet people still argue russians aren't barbarian terrorists.

[–] 13esq@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (9 children)

You should be wary of labelling an entire group by the actions of a few.

Do the war crimes committed in Abu Ghrabi make all Americans barbarian terrorists?
