If you're Anti-NATO then you're Pro-War

YDI

Russian troll alert.

YDI for being a useful idiot.

YDI. The first sentence of every comment is literal Russian propaganda. Clutching your pearls at forced conscription during an ongoing invasion speaks to a level of privilege I rarely see, even online. Zelenski is touring "the royal courts," because he's prostrating himself to beg for money, weapons and aid for his country. Wars aren't free, especially when you're up against a global power.

You're playing loose with the facts, and nobody is buying it.

Or would you rather they roll over and go, "Sorry, we're all outta gas. Russia just has more bodies to throw at us"? Become part of Russia? Good thing you weren't in charge of the country, or you would have run up the white flag years ago.

YDI, I live in Ukraine.

You are a tankie! And we both know you are lying about your alleged concern for human rights.

Let's hope one day you will be on the recieving end of russian genocidal imperialism.

The story of Donbas Cowboy, Russell Bentley also comes to mind for some reason:

Bentley’s wife, Lyudmila, then claimed that Russian soldiers from a tank battalion abducted him.

According to the Investigative Committee, Vansyatsky, Agaltsev, and Iordanov tortured Bentley on April 8, and he died shortly afterward.

Vansyatsky and Agaltsev are suspected of blowing up a car with Bentley’s body in it and ordering Bazhin to get rid of what was left of his remains.

YDI.

The comments that got removed are very well known points used by Russian propaganda farms

You may or may not know that. You may or may not be doing that intentionally. But you know the whole "if it quacks like a duck..." bit? You're quacking like a propaganda farm.

Now, I'm not saying that holding those opinions, if they are actually your opinions, isn't your right. It is, fully, your right to believe however you want. Doesn't matter if I like it, if agree with it, or even if I would punch you in the snout for a given opinion (and I wouldn't for these), it is your right to hold those opinions.

But it is a mod's responsibility to filter out bad actors like propaganda farms. The only effective way to do that is to observe what those farms are saying, and remove anything that spreads the messaging. Sometimes, actual people will get caught up in that. It's unavoidable, and regrettable even (since there's no chance to possibly talk the person into a less unrealistic stance, which is possible for the folks that swallow propaganda like this). But it is necessary.

Remember, that applies to anything that's being pushed by propaganda farms. IDGAF of it was Ukrainian farm talking points, EU talking points, or wherever, it would still need to be filtered out because this isn't their fucking platform. Lemmy, even more than Reddit, is a platform of individual people, not government actors. It has to be rigidly protected or it will go the way reddit is going.

I don't like conscription either, but you're essentially saying the allied leaders are just as evil as nazis for conscription so that they can have an army to fight the nazis...

You're misrepresenting what happened here just a little bit

Lol. Why do you focus on the third sentence in or something and somehow assume the 2 sentences before, containing 100% propaganda and misinformation, wouldn't count towards propaganda and misinformation, but somehow it's this one thing? Just tell me how an democratically elected president, who is still backed by like a vast majority of the citizens is somehow an authoritarian ruler?

And why do you keep having the same problem every 4 weeks?
