    The Russian state’s claims about “fighting fascism in Ukraine” are hypocritical attempts to justify its military aggression motivated by capitalist and imperial interests. We do not deny that far-right groups do operate in Ukraine (as in many other countries). But it is also important to remember that Russian colonial policy contributed a lot to their emergence.

    EXACTLY.

        lol feel free to try yourself. I predict an instant ban in response so I think it will be a waste of time. No free thought allowed on that instance.

          Impossible to prove a negative, and wouldn’t it feel good to be proven right? Also, seems like you don’t frequent there so what’s the harm?

            I don’t frequent there because I was banned and censored several times and concluded it was a waste of time. The best possible thing to do with Lemmy.ml is ignore it and push for defederation until they stop behaving like petty tyrants.

    It’s very easy to lecture others that “all sides in this war are rotten, there is nothing to be done” when the artillery fire isn’t coming down on your neighbourhood.
