Well what are you waiting for? Demonstrate it!
In the past, when I saw the same posts on both Reddit and Lemmy, the Lemmy comments always showed more critical thinking and skepticism where it was appropriate. Nothing was taken at face value; memes were not considered a source of information, and there were always many comments looking for verifiable sources. This was in stark contrast to Reddit.
But, apparently, something changed. When the memes about the bombings started coming in, every comment was based on the premise that the meme was true. "2/3s??? Wow, I was expecting a big number but not a sizeable majority" "reddit too, all the traffic has been quiet."
Fortunately, as time went on, the more critical comments got voted to the top, and this spurred more skepticism. But the damage had already been done. The first wave of comments is always more representative of peoples' uninfluenced reactions; seeing them made me lose my faith in Lemmy.
Spot on. It feels like people are more tribal on Lemmy. Just look at the downvotes on the comment you replied. Straight facts but downvoted cuz .ml
Disappointing to say the least. But maybe this is natural due to the way instances work. Kind of separates us into teams by default.
I don't care what instance you're from. Use your brain. Don't believe anything without actual evidence. This is war. Always be skeptical.
Still no harm in damaging russias economy a couple more times this way. Keep em coming ๐ค๐๐ฃ
So we should stop russias war of aggression, right? Right.jpg?
Yeah maybe Russia should stop their invasion of Ukraine so the war can end.
Similarly: the only reason there's a war in Iran is because the United States sent its Navy there.
Imperialist invaders fucking off and going home challenge (impossible)
Sure, 2 day old .ml account.
Entirely agreed, maybe russia should gtfo of Ukraine so the war can stop.
Hey quick question, let's assume everything you think about Russia is true. Why is putin playing along? Why is he emptying soviet vehicle stockpiles and losing troops on droves to a place he said in 2014 he could take in 2 weeks? If the US or NATO actually wanted to invade Russia, now is better than yesterday, and tomorrow will be even better. So why continue a war that only weakens Russia?
I guess the ultimate question is what is putin trying to accomplish with the invasion?
Nice photoshop, 2 day old .ml account.
A wall of text to a simple question. Classic.
I mentioned depleted stockpiles specifically, but go ahead and pretend I was talking about economics.
So they take all of Ukraine. Russia now has a border with a nato country, the thing they're allegedly going to war to prevent. Fucking brilliant.
ukraine has been willing to do a ceasefire for ages and putin keeps escalating.
Yeah, Russia should probably do something about that.

I bet you can't say Russia is imperialist scum.
I double bet you will start about America instead.
