Admin from lemmy.ml basically summed up in a comic, definitely check out his profile for sequels

The one reply he says US is Balkanizing Russia is hilarious, the stretch these Russian bot farms make

JWayn596@lemmy.world · 102 pts · 1y (3 replies)

This guy is a literal moron, you cannot frame the world from a settler-colonist mindset and tell me with a straight face that "Russia Good", "China Good".

Thats not anti-facism, socialism, or anti-imperialism, thats just anti-US.

skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de · 28 pts · 1y

that's campism

nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org · 14 pts · 1y

It's only imperialism if it comes from anglophone regions that don't pretend to be socialist. Otherwise, it's just sparkling hegemonic expansionism.

Thats not anti-facism, socialism, or anti-imperialism, thats just anti-US.

Their entire thing in a nutshell. It's flat Earth theory with geopolitics, they believe the opposite of what everyone else does for the sake of it; the communist stuff is just decoration.

I called him a tankie and sit at 5/5...

dennis@midwest.social · 47 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Link for anyone curious: midwest.social | lemmy.world | sh.itjust.works | discuss.tchncs.de

Apparently he didn't like being called a tankie

One of his recent replies (under 1h ago):

You’d think the West would have taken it seriously after Crimea was annexed. But even after losing most of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson, there are still imperial core labor aristocrat clowns like you, still failing to read the room.

His handler needs to tell him to tone it down. It's just too unbelievable

dennis@midwest.social · 21 pts · 1y (5 replies)

He's basically taking advantage of his position in the only instance where a Lemmy dev is present as admin (who probably isn't aware of what this admin has been up to, maybe), to spread propaganda, it goes from Chinese propaganda narratives to Russian propaganda, his profile is full of it and he replies quite often, I wonder how he has so much time..

NOT_RICK@lemmy.world · 36 pts · 1y (4 replies)

I see you’re new. The two main lemmy devs are tankies themselves

dennis@midwest.social · 18 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Whew, thats disappointing.. I didn't know, thanks for the heads up!

NOT_RICK@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Sure is! I’ve heard some are working on a compatible fork to get away from the platform being dependent upon them; not sure where that stands though.

ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net · 15 pts · 1y

The drop in replacement is Sublinks, though it hasn't gotten any commits since augest, so it might be a while.

The most promising potential replacement is Piefed, which is already operational. It's ahead of Lemmy in some ways, and rougher in others, but the Dev is a chill dude :)

Also @dennis@midwest.social

wait, then in this case who gets to bomb Belgrad Belgorod Moscow

uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 10 pts · 1y

If Russia drops a single nuke, everybody.

That's the thing, no one wants to break the ice at this party.

PuddleOfKittens@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 1y

If Russia drops a bomb, then NATO immediately deploys conventional bombs with their own air force on all Russian forces in Ukraine, and China/India both sanction Russia (which basically means the whole world is sanctioning Russia, since nobody will want to piss off the USA and EU and China and India - even NK might sanction Russia).

In other words, if Moscow drops a nuke then their military and their economy both disintegrate.

You're supposed to wait for the microwave to turn off before you grab the burrito out.

I've been following a base defence plan:

  1. Watch every UFO invasion movie
  2. Don't live in the cities that are shown being destroyed.

Especially, don't be anywhere near the statue of liberty.

You'll be fine, thank me later.

delgato@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 1y

Also don’t live anywhere requiring a bridge crossing or an island. That said I live on Long Island within eyeshot of Statue of Liberty. I’ve accepted my fate

I used my microwave that counts right?

M0oP0o@mander.xyz · 1 pts · 1y

No that's just hot pocket levels of micro radiation. Maybe if you put spicy rocks in it first.

Technically ATACMS also includes the "short-ranged" balistic missile category.
