    There are 20 Israel stories to every 1 Ukraine story on Lemmy.

    Regardless of your opinion on the matter, this platform is being heavily astroturfed, and so are many other “liberal” platforms. It’s actually way worse here than on Reddit.

        CTH was kicked out for saying “John Brown was right actually, killing slavers is good” and made an example of, along with thedonald way after it had been abandoned. Full “antifa is as bad as fascists” garbage but it’s what the shareholders want.

        And it wasn’t all tankies, there were a lot of LateStageCapitalism refugees that git kicked because LSC was just straight tankie. I got kicked for suggesting that North Korea isn’t good just because the West says it’s bad.

      Of course there are, and I probably post 3 of the 20.

      Other than the alt-right, you’re not going to find any support for Russia in the West.

      Why would we need to raise awareness and keep posting about Ukraine to the same level as Palestine?

          You absolute little liar.

          the deceptive practice of presenting an orchestrated marketing or public relations campaign in the guise of unsolicited comments from members of the public.

          I am a real person, with an ethical obligation to stand up against genocide. There is no deception, I am a member of the public, and what I am doing is called activism (or slacktivism for the pessimists in the world).

            So, you admit that you are flooding this platform to deliberately present one story as more dominant in the news cycle than others in order to misrepresent its relevancy to current events?

            You can argue definitions and semantics all day, but that is what you’re doing - and it’s dishonest at best.

              You are saying posting on aggregate media sites is dishonest?

              That is just ridiculous.

            Honest question : do you also stand up for the white people who are victims of white genocide being conducted by zionists in america?

            Do you believe former Republican state representative and KKK grand wizard David Duke when he claims White America is being genocided just like the Palestinians?

            Or can you only see through fascist bullshit when it’s conservative christian americans spouting the lies?

        Bruh I literally got banned from .ml twice just for mentioning the fact that Russia shot down a civilian airliner in Ukraine. You are completely delusional if you don’t see that a significant portion of these idiots are up Putin’s ass.

      Probably something to do with my country financing the underdog in one of these fights and the war criminals in the other.

      Do yourself a favor block grad and ml it cleans up a lot of bad faith arguments.

      It is Alexander Dugin’s red-brown-green alliance.

      Far left tankie red fascists, christian nationalist brownshirt fascists, and islamo-fascists, joined together to destroy ‘liberalism’.
