Yeah, the way they were posting pictures of Putin with rainbow colors, lipstick, etc was pretty gross. It’s like they are incapable of introspection.

They say, “I support LGBT rights, see my flag? I was making fun of Putin because HE’S homophobic, not me! Posting this has no reflection on MY thoughts about homosexuals!”

Meanwhile, these jokes contain the same homophobic and transphobic content they were using to oppress others only 10 years ago (if even that long.) It’s the same as when they call Russians “orcs” and Xi “Winnie the Poo”, but swear it’s not racism.

These people are just waiting for excuses to spew their hatred in a context where others won’t call them out on it because it’s socially acceptable among their peers. They long for the “good ol’ days” and “don’t see color” while denying the impact of white supremacy and their complicit participation.

I hadn’t seen the “Jewtin” one before. That’s even more mask-off.

Perfect reply from them.

Or make it yourself. Ridiculously easy and tastes way better. I recommend trying it with serrano pepper and garlic.

I felt the same way until I started trying to correct errors in my professional field of research and they stubbornly refused to fix the errors despite a wealth of primary literature showing that the current scientific consensus contradicts what was written on Wikipedia.

As useful as it is for science, it has serious issues. I wish I could say I haven’t found many similar errors or poor/outright contradictory sourcing over the last decade. They need to seriously examine their own biases and restructure their editing process. Wikipedia is one of my favorite human projects, but that doesn’t mean we should ignore its flaws.

I believe that was Stalin and his comically-large spoon.

FR though, read into these famines a bit closer. It sounds like your sources may have passed over some of the context surrounding these famines.

Amazon’s working on it. Just gotta get those company towns in place.

These articles are a health hazard. If my eyes roll any harder, they’ll end up permanently stuck facing the back of my head.

FYI, that screenshot was from a thread on Lemmy.zip. That said, your point stands and I’ve seen far worse on .world. The .worlders have a tendency to drive me away from .ML posts too because there tends to be so much chauvinism coming from that instance.

Ultimately, I think it benefitted us, but I think it also drove them to be more like Reddit, which is what they wanted.

Edit: For those who may stumble upon this and think OP was exaggerating about this sort of drivel being directly from Mein Kampf…

Never forget that the rulers of present-day Russia are common blood-stained criminals; that they are the scum of humanity which, favoured by circumstances, overran a great state in a tragic hour, slaughtered out thousands of her leading intelligentsia in wild bloodlust, and now for almost ten years have been carrying on the most cruel and tyrannical regime of all time.

Furthermore, do not forget that these rulers belong to a race which combines, in a rare mixture, bestial cruelty and an inconceivable gift for lying, and which today more than ever is conscious of a mission to impose its bloody oppression on the whole world.

Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

Revisionism!

Everyone knows these days drones drop the bombs, not soldiers.

Give the soldier an Xbox controller and some medals.

Socialism is when poor. Socialism is when work free.
