    Imagine, you are the reason that your own country’s worth went down 75% in 8 years and you are like… “I can fix this… I need more time”

    Never forget Americans put Yeltsin in Russia. The USSR was ready to establish a social democratic union leaving bolchevism behind. Instead, the CIA under Clinton sponsored the fascist, the eastern block had nothing to eat for and now they are whining about russian fascist doing fascist thing?

    Lmao america is a pathetic country.

      I go to “tankie” instances all the time. Do you know why?

      Because they are not constantly whining about other instances. They are doing their own thing while you are busy crying about them lmao

    Funny. I encountered exact the same thing a few hours ago in post where somebody called South Korea occupied.

    Of course I was first downvoted and then banned after I was pointing out some things. They really don’t like the word „tankie“ on Lemmy.ml

    I don’t mind being banned, I wear it as a badge of honour. But they are cowards and hypocrites, which is rather sad.

      The mods and admins are truly fragile cowards, it is remarkable. Being banned from .ml is badge of honor which they hand out like candy.

        You could also proudly get tatooed “I’m an idiot” on your forehead. You know, to warn everyone.

          I don’t know why I’d permanently alter my body because some fragile dipshits need a trigger warning for facts about China. I think it’s simpler if you hide in the .ml instance, where you are protected by equally fragile mods.

      Look into East Germany right now. People who experienced a pseudosocialist dictatorship, where Putin was stationed as a KGB officer, will now lick Putin’s boots. Apparently they want to be controlled by Moscow again.

      It’s pathetic.

        Ignorance is bliss, it apparently is due in part to how western news is not filtered, or at least is filtered differently ðan in ð soviet days, and is as a result, a lot more stressful to viewers.

        Ðey have a nostalgia for media censorship because being bombarded wið daily crime statistics and corruption scandals harshes ðeir mellow.

        Maybe something failed to deliver for the people there that made them lose faith in Western institutions?

        Some quality of life factors that didn’t appear in the metrics we track? An overall shift in role or relevance?

        If you’re not connecting with an audience, there’s more to fixing it than berating said audience and acting surprised when they’re not interested in what you’re pushing.

    It’s only “imperialism” if it comes from a western country, otherwise it’s sparkling authoritarianism.
