I can't figure out how to view my own reply comment anymore, but a /Ukraine user commented this insanity and I called them out — that cornering a sociopathic nuclear armed dictator is recklessly stupid, and exactly what will trigger a nuclear war — and got massively downvoted for "enabling Russia". 90% of the user base agreed with "conquering" Russia, and thought previous mini incursions across the border are equivalent; proving that nukes are a forever bluff.

The best part? After inspecting several of the mods and users comment histories I realized all seem to have nothing to do with Ukraine whatsoever, and appear to be young pro-war machine North American jarheads (or keyboard warrior wannabes), who sub to or mod numerous other military related communities.

YDI. You went into an explicitly pro-Ukraine comm to spread pro-Russian perspectives. They literally have the first rule as

Sympathy for enemy combatants in any form is prohibited.

.

that cornering a sociopathic nuclear armed dictator is recklessly stupid, and exactly what will trigger a nuclear war

Out of curiosity, would you also argue that palestinians "cornering a sociopathic nuclear armed dictator is recklessly stupid"?

You need to post a screenshot modlog so we can see what you wrote and why they said you were banned.

Anyway I looked it up myself. I agree with your point and have been frustrated in the past by the echo chambers in the communities focused on the war in Ukraine but you were very rude and insulting to people so I can understand why you were banned. It’s not totally clear but the modlog seems to imply that you may have sent the mods some insulting messages as well.

So I’d say not power tripping bastards, at least in this specific case.

"Enabling Russia? You are completely unhinged. But I'm not surprised that a chudd with a username like "nuke" is a delusional internet-bro moron who doesn't understand psychopathy. I'm gonna go out a limb here and assume uneducated American &/or military jarhead; all testosterone, feefees, and no brains? What I am surprised is that the average here think that "conquering" a nuclear power is smart. Lucky for me though, the entire western world will drop all military support for Ukraine if idiots like you are in control and actually try to march on Moscow after defeating Putin."

"I mean fight them back and contain them in their borders obviously, but apparently the average on Lemmy is thick, slow, and ignorant, so I'll spell it out for you... Once the goal is to "conquer" a nuclear armed dictator, you run the risk of cornering a sociopath who has nothing else to lose and is likely to murder everyone if they can't have it all. Dictator = sociopath. Nuclear war = psycho. EVERYONE DIE. Triggering nuclear war = dumb cunt... Get it?"
