Lemmygrad.ml is full of Putin appologists.
Some of them are from hexabear.
The oh yeah, what about Minsk Agreements that Ukraine broke?! is also a wild ride on misinfo as well. Russia agreed to pull out forces out of Ukraine borders. Guess how it went.
They’re conservatives. They demand a hierarchy where your betters are unquestionable and those below you are subservient. They promote this using the language of leftists, and the contradictions do not bother them, because words are just how you perform loyalty.
Right-wing politics are only the most blatant and fitting expression of that worldview. This tribalism is humanity’s default. Reasoned argument is a learned behavior - and some people visibly are not doing that.
Reality is a team sport, to some people. In their minds: things are good because good people do them. And their people must be good people, because who’d want to be bad people?
Oh, well if the CIA said his decades of brutal autocratic power don’t count, I guess that doesn’t what the fuck are you talking about of course he was a textbook dictator.

You can be extreme left and still not be a tankie.
I assumed once one got extreme enough left they were anti-hierarchical and bound to principle
It’s difficult to be that and tankie at the same time.
I’m but a poli-sci amateur so I may be talking out my ass.

Anyone who isn’t a state-department approved soCIAlist is a
filthy subhumanI mean “tankie” according to lemmy.worldIt depends on who is using it more than anything. In many respects it says more about the user than who it is directed at.
It runs the gambit in how its used on Lemmy.
