It's hilarious reading their "arguments" and then posting facts they can only handle by banning you. The delusion dripping out of these "people" is so sad and painful to watch. Holding up America to make China or Russia look better is just like holding one turd to make the other look better.

I find it very hard to believe, given CowBee's constant proselytizing, that they do not understand the distinction being made here.

All tankies are communists (purportedly), but not all communists are tankies. Tankies believe in Stalin-style militant communism, and will do or say anything to support their ends regardless of if it's objectively true or not. They will deny all harms that are caused by anyone who claims to be a communist.

Basically they're MAGA in a different claimed direction.

Glad someone else has noticed the uptick of this stuff, I saw a "meme" that basically said they are against Israel and Ukraine??

Ukraine, much like Palestine, wants to mind their own business but can't because they're being invaded. How do you hate Israel but also support Russia? It's madness.

Why though? There's nothing communist about the Russian federation at all.

I filtered out .ml.

I just got so sick of the constant pro-China bullshit, and their disingenuous arguments

They are a disinformation cesspool and don't hesitate to brigade.

Cowbee was the first username I learned to recognize. This shit is either his job, or there are multiple people running it, or even both.

My Lemmy experience has been a lot better since filtering .ml.

I'm banned from a bunch of places cuz of an interaction with cowbee. If you haven't checked out the account it's kinda wild, like 20k posts in two years or something. Averaging like 30 posts a day, every single day, for two years.

Some might think they're a paid ccp shill or something but I think they just do it for the love of the game. Always feel vindicated when I see other posts calling out cowbee's shit.

Wait…pretty sure contemporary Russia is CINO and even then just barely as they’ve gone capitalist in the ‘90s. I could understand the pedantics if it was expressly the USSR (Don’t agree with it, as an anarchist obvs, but still) or “critical support” for China, but here-and-now Russia?

Using less effort and time with each step. The point is to waste their time/energy for a laugh:

• Step 0. They give some BS about your comment/post
• Step 1. Recognize their BS.
• Step 2. Directly call them out on it.
• Step 3. Refuse to engage with the change of subject.
• Step 4. Refer them to step 2 in future comments.

I've said it before, but what kind of braindead retard unironically supports the Russian Federation. Like bro, the country is not only an authoritarian shithole, but it's also weak and on the verge of collapse. If you're gonna submit yourself to warlords, at least pick a winning side.

Literally enough tankie spam

Enough tankie spam

Sadly, but ml instance has also communities that are focused on non-political themes like tech stuff, so for now it has sense to block each community on ml except the normal ones.

Lol I like the computer lingo of != But id say it's better to say "isn't".

like how thier are "true conservatives"
