    The hate for Russia should be universally heavy among people with at least half a brain. I think people really underestimate how much their propaganda has damaged so many countries around the world. They really know how to target the pretty large percentage of stupid people every country has.

      “How many of you have ever felt nationally victimized by Vladimir Putin?”

        FTFY. Fewer raised hands will make that research more efficient to compile. 🫡

          True, but I went with the closer to the original quote

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]

Rules:

  1. No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.

  2. Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it’s about bad news for Ukraine.

  3. Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,…) is absolutely fine but don’t use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don’t deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you’re part of the problem.

  4. Don’t insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.

  5. Don’t submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

  6. Don’t just complain about paywalls. If you encounter one, be a sport and link to an archived version instead. Use Firefox + uBlock Origin with the annoyances filters enabled and https://filterlists.com/lists/bypass-paywalls-clean-filter to avoid encountering many in the first place.
