Some communities there are literally calling for the annihilation of Ukraine

edit: Since people are either willfully or otherwose are missing my point, this is a pro-russia, pro-fascist hate group, therefore we shouldn’t give them the platform to spread their shit. this is not about me seeing their community or then causing issues accross other communities, it’s about de-platforming fascists.

      They have hundreds, if not thousands, of members all along a spectrum of leftist belief. Wild that they all were saying that, yet the comment only got 3 upvotes.

      With every post I stumble upon about defederating with hexbear, I just feel more and more radicalized.

        then you are a prime example of why de federation should happen, these are not leftists, these are misguided tankies at best, fascist shills in disguise in reality, down to the fact of them discovering this “new truth” (excellent video here btw https://youtu.be/P55t6eryY3g)

        these are leftists the same way Nazis were socialist, North Korea is democratic and China/Russia were communist.

        Russia is ruled by fascists, there is a reason both Orbán and the GOP are big fans of Putin.

        how can you call them leftists while they shill russian propaganda? they all but come out and straight up say that Ukraine should be left alone to lose the war and be conquered?

          Russia is ruled by fascists. how can you call them leftists while they shill russian propaganda?

          Russia is very much quickly tumbling towards USSR communism. There is massive support for return to communism from the officials and the population. People are erecting new statues for Stalin and getting popular support. Criticizing historical communist leaders is likely to get you legally persecuted.

          Why are people thinking that communist loving Russia is leftist… Gee I don’t know.

          Incoming “USSR wasn’t communism, and nothing has ever been communism”.
