Not that there’s anything wrong with content warnings. But you’d think people who actively celebrate massacres and call for the death of others can handle a children’s cartoon lol

    Yeah, tankies are the definitely the most pathetic and disconnected from reality.

    I would even go as far as saying it’s mostly online roleplay (bored teenagers, internet demagogue-shitposters and the mentally ill).

    And it’s a not matter of me talking shit about them and hating (I am Ukrainian so I do actually hate them). They have zero presence in the real world and no one takes them seriously.

    Russians treat them as useful idiots, I don’t know Chinese (and I’ve never loved in China), but I will speculate that even Chinese nationalists don’t take them seriously.

      Yeah, it’s sad in a way that no one in geopolitics takes them seriously.

      But that’s probably a good thing that they’re ultimately harmless.

      Do you get any hate on lemmy for being ukranian?

        Not really, no.

        There is definitely an above average amount people spreading russian propaganda considering the modest size (55K MAU).

        Lemmy seems like the most viable alternative to US-based social networks. Hopefully it gets larger and outgrows its tankie roots.
