Nothing about this story or Jill is important except for one thing. She is aligned with Putin in denying Ukraine weapons to defend itself. She may not be purposefully supporting Putin but she is supporting his position and making his position stronger ignoring Putin's past patterns of behavior.

I'm sure the usual suspects will be along shortly to explain how this isn't what it absolutely, positively is.

Our biggest offender would, but they're currently serving a 3-day ban for Sealioning (public mod logs are awesome).

"Anything to beat the 'duopoly' of political parties, even if the party is tainted by neo-fascist dark money!"

Absolutely wild mental gymnastics lol

The Green Party in the USA is f'n weird.

[–] NateNate60@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The Green Party has no incentive to act professionally because voters cannot punish them electorally for it.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They also, unlike their voters, understand there is no possibility of electoral success. So there is no positive incentive for it either.

With all this stuff about Jill coming out, it’s no wonder all the Lemmy.ml and Hexbears are so supportive of her. She’s a Russian asset!

What is the Russian word for Wumao?

I wish she'd go away tbh.

Jill was always a double agent
