Your claim was that that person talked about Russian bots out of nowhere while it was the third comment in a chain that at least mentioned Russian bots.
A: they are all Russian bots
B: not all of them are Russian bots
C: none of us are Russian bots
U: Why is C talking about Russian bots out of nowhere? Where is this coming from? It’s not in the meme and I don’t understand the concept of comments that refer to other comments while write one myself.
I’m not even defending the tankie triade. I’m defending reading comprehension
To clarify, there is no actual lemmy.ru, OP added it in to imply the other instances are Russian ops. The common narrative libs on lemmy use is that they’re russian bots.
If you don’t believe that’s what OP meant, why don’t you tell us your interpretation?
Ever thought about the possibility that Russian Bot might be used as an allegory for Russia Sympathizer? This is a meme, you took it too literal. Besides, could you scrutinize your liberal/tankie dichotomy? There are quite some anarchists here on lemmy who oppose both Western and Russian imperialism. Thanks.
You’re not opposing western imperialism while supporting their war.
This obviously doesn’t apply to people living in Russia, who should oppose their government’s actions.
Do you genuinely believe that we are acting in the interests of the Ukrainian people, unlike literally every single military action we’ve taken since WWII? When we were bombing Syria and arming ISIS and Al Nusra to “liberate” Syria (and stealing their oil and crops), did you think that was for the good of the Syrians? When we bombed Libya to oust that evil dictator Ghaddafi, did you think that was good for the Libyans? When we bombed Yemen to oust the Houthi’s, did you think that was in the interests of the Yemeni people? Do you think the Iraqi people are better off today than they would have been if we didn’t invade them twice and cause over a million premature deaths, mostly of children simply due to sanctions? I haven’t even gotten to the 90s yet. Hell this isn’t even exhaustive for the 2000s.
I don’t get how you took my “I oppose western imperialism” to mean that I support western imperialism. I’m not supporting those wars. Where do you even take that from? I went to protests against the Iraq invasion 2 decades ago. Did you?
I get the sentiment that it’s more important to oppose one’s own government but this should lead to supporting other governments. It’s possible to oppose both.
If you don’t think we should be sending bombs to our puppet Ukraine, your position is identical with HB/.ml/grad, our lack of support for western imperialism is what gets us labeled supporters of Russia. Where exactly is the disagreement?
This is literally no different from getting called a terrorist supporter in 2002.
Did I? The two comments above the one your first comment responded to mentioned Russian bots and neither was written by me
Touché, but my point still stands in reference to the chap I was conversing with. And what you said still doesn’t make any sense

A and C are the same user…

Oh, in this case I totally misunderstood A and jumped to wrong conclusions. Thanks for correcting me
