Tankies are folks who follow ideologies such as stalinism or stalinist-adjacent ones (e.g. trotskyism, maoism).

Here “libshits” takes most of the scale, because I’ve been called that a bunch of times, despite certainly not being a liberal or even in the center or right wing, and I’m kinda salty.

Farmers in New Zealand are organized into cooperative, probably the biggest and most successful cooperative there is, and there’s almost zero subsidizing from state for them.

That’s what he says.

Ukrainian special services, on the other hand, point out servers and most Telegram employees residing in St. Petersburg and claim that he made few dozen visits to Russia since his alleged flight from there.

I’d add up a bit. The idea expressed there is also basically dismissing Ukrainian subjectivity, and that is exactly what Russians do all the time.

Their ideology locked them in such a position where either Russia exists or free independent Ukraine exists, because they treat Ukraine as “Russia’s missing piece”.

This is why I naively believe that if any ceasefire actually happens (even if slightly unfavorable for Ukraine) - Russia will simply subsequently self-destruct.

That may be hypocritical, but having hostile neighbour, that itself doesn’t respect any conventions (and Russians absolutely don’t mind anti-personnel landmines among other things such as cluster munitions and chemical warfare) is a good stimuli to rethink ones principles.

I think the initial motive for her appointment may have been to later eat her face. Turncoat who doesn’t mind taking money from Russia, Iran, even Assad. Of course she’d say Iran wasn’t building a nuke (peaceful 60% enriched uranium, y’know).

They specifically placed the most useless person as head of intelligence to paralyze entire agency and then dismiss it.

Good thing Lemmy is safe since .ml folks agree with MAGA on lots of things. 🌝

Eh, I wouldn’t put Gabbard and truth in one sentence though. Girl has been taking money from Assad at some point, which is like the lowest low.
