  • Its not funny and theyre not mental infants, its calculated, sociopathic geopolitical maneuvering by very capable, ruthless people

  • If someone is only willing to communicate with you through WhatsApp, they don't value your friendship.

  • I think the driving forces are more likely sociopathic corporate interests that want deregulation and foreign adversaries who want to see the US government dismantled (and allies driven away, and growing social division)

  • Fair enough, differing perspectives with a lot of truth mixed in. Anyway, seems we can both agree "the West" is really failing by providing such weak support for a large democracy being brutally invaded right on their doorstep. If not for ideals, then because it's the most rational thing to do when faced with such barbaric aggression.

  • I suspect they don't go all in because, as I said, they want to keep the Kremlin engaged. If you look at the cost and amount of military equipment destroyed its staggering, and the Kremlin won't be able to replace it any time soon.

    You misunderstood my comparison to Afghanistan, but no need to be rude about it. Russians are brainwashed, many actually believe "the West" wants to invade and destroy them, and they've been taught lies about their history of brutally oppressing people.

  • I think many of Ukraine's partners have seen this as a cheap opportunity to see the Kremlin destroy its military... at the cost of Ukrainiane lives.

    In other words, part of the equation for them is balancing support so it keeps Russia engaged but mostly static. So this lowers the Kremlin's ability to repeat this kind of barbaric land grab because their Soviet stockpiles are gone and the people are left wary of starting a new war.

    Surprising to me that the war in Afghanistan cost 20,000 Russian lives over ten years and was a major factor in the dissolution of the USSR. This war in Ukraine absolutely dwarfs those numbers and its in its third year, yet the Russian people are too scared or brainwashed to act.

  • Hard to forget an instance that openly threatens to kill you. Hexbear is hateful garbage.

  • hexbear.net comically loses its domain name

  • They followed me around and down voted everything I posted for a while (memes, conversational comments, everything). Oh and they also threatened to kill me. Fuck hexbear and all its users.

  • They want to spend 2 billion euros on disinformation so they don't have to spend 5 billion euros on their military.

    For example, if they spent 2 billion getting Trump elected and he cuts off US support for Ukraine, that 5 billion would be an absolute bargain for them.

  • Meanwhile, I'm just in this thread to call out Lemmy.ml lies.

  • The Fediverse is terrible at handling misinformation, maybe its biggest flaw. The budget is precisely $0 and it shows.

  • Exactly, digital divide and conquer

  • Are they an adherant if they're paid? What about if it's an LLM?

  • The people going around loudly policing other people's language do more harm to leftist causes than good.

  • I came into this thread just to downvote their lies.

  • NYC has one of the biggest public transportation systems ever built

  • Good point, and I can't always be right, I know. If I suspect someone is a real person I almost always treat them with respect because, as you say, we need to mend the fabric.

    I think I'm doing more good than harm because even if I get it wrong, I'm highlighting the issue. If someone sees me call out suspected disinformation, maybe they'll think more critically.

    At the end of the day, I dislike doing it, but I think its the right thing to do.

  • That joke is apauling
