Does your instance federate with lemmy.ml and lemmy.grad? You get banned on those instances for doing anything except simp for Russia. Majority of the users there defend all of russia’s actions.
Yes. Are you confusing defending Russia’s actions with having more nuance than attributing all of Russian’s actions to Russians being mustache-twirling villains who do evil for its own sake?
You can solve this confusion by just showing me what you’re talking about. It should be trivial if its as common as you say.
We’re not talking about people praising Russian cuisine, art, and literature. We’re talking about tankies taking Russia’s side on the invasion of Ukraine and parroting Russian propaganda about the war being NATO’s fault and Ukrainians being Nazis.
The war requires Russia, Ukraine, and America to continue. It’d be great if Russia would just stop, but as an American it’s more sensible to oppose my own government’s support.
Ukrainians being Nazis
There are a shitton of nazis in Ukraine tho, there’s also a bunch in Russia.
praising Russian cuisine
I’ve tried Russian cuisine, its not great. Who is praising it? Swedes?

And if a woman doesn’t want to be raped, that’s easily solved by her simply not having the sex be involuntary. Makes perfect sense.
WW2 would also have been over way sooner if everyone had just surrendered to the Germans and Japanese. I wonder why those fools didn’t just heed your wisdom.
Oh no. I’m entirely in favor of stopping the war. But stopping it in any way that permits Russia to keep the occupied territory is literally condoning and enabling genocide. Ukraine is fighting to stop that.
“Stopping the war” is possible in many ways, but only one of them doesn’t include at least some genocide.
I don’t believe Russia is committing genocide in the areas they’re occupying. They’ve certainly committed warcrimes, such as executing POWs and targeting infrastructure in Ukraine, but I’ve seen no evidence of genocide directed against the civilian population in occupied areas.
We can also look at demographic data in Sevastopol for example. If there was a genocide, we would expect the average life expectancy and age to decrease.

Kidnapping and relocating children to raise them Russian is genocide. Forcibly relocating Ukrainians to replace them with Russians is a genocide. You can choose not to believe that, but it is happening.
The previous point still stands though. If Russia is rewarded for being the agressor then they will learn that its the correct path to take. Which is less than ideal
It seems like you ignore points you agree with. This will result in a consensus never being reached, instead having an infinite argument. By adding a “you’re right about x but I still disagree with y” into your messaging it’ll help create an understanding
Sure I can. I can call you a bot or a clanker. I can claim to be black, gay, or from Florida. People need to stop accepting claims made on the internet.
These are all relatively easy things to verify if anyone has a lengthy post history. You think someone’s an unlabeled bot? Show an admin evidence and they’ll be nuked.

See that’s where I’m a step ahead, I’ve already blocked those instances

No these guys specifically praise Putin as a worthy succesor to Stalin’s legacy
No they don’t lmao what?

Governments aren’t people, sending more people to die for nationalism is not comparable to submitting to rape what the actual fuck?
This is a lot closer to WWI than WWII.
I’m constantly shocked how much vitriol “war is bad and we should stop it as quickly as possible” dredges up.

Fuck you
And this is how you argue with tankies
Username identifies you as Russian. Further arguments are guaranteed to be bad faith time-wasters.
You can’t just call everyone you disagree with Russian lmao.
