This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly

Edit: I'm convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

Incase anyone tells you that lemmy.ml is not a tankie instance.

!

Like, honestly. What a joke of an admin.

Since I was curious I checked the actual amount of upvotes and downvotes of my post on mbin. It got 56 upvotes and 66 downvotes according to them since I was curious. Seems I hurt their little ego when I mentioned blocking their instance.

Tankies are terminally fucking stupid.

Boots need shining, and Dessalines is positively salivating at the thought

Update: I got banned from hexbear and grad lmao

Tankies are just MAGA pretending to be communist

Lemmy admins: we designed Lemmy to speak truth to power.

I was just banned for a comment that was critical of kamala Harris, critical of Hamas, pro Palestinian civilians who are suffering genocide from the Israeli government

"Rule 1" and I didn't even use a slur or anything.

Quotes incoming, have to copy paste

Except you know, that one thing

Or that other thing

Banned for being: Too White, opposing Russian imperialism, using the word 'authoritarian', not praising the CCP, saying war criminals should be punished regardless of nation.

Capital offenses in tankieville, it would seem.

• Authoritarian First Known Use: 1861
• Holocaust date 1941-1945
• Horseshoe theory is attributed to Jean-Pierre Faye in his 1972 book Théorie du récit: introduction aux langages totalitaires, in relation to Otto Strasser.
• There is no evidence that Jean-Pierre Faye has ever denied the Holocaust. In fact, Faye has engaged in scholarly work that discusses the Holocaust and antisemitism.

The original was from MSN posted by a db0 user. Hexbear and ML users argued it's fake and asked for proofs. OP got some as a non-speaker, then I researched it myself and wanted to add what I've found, but the post got deleted before I replied.

So here is an english article about that: https://khpg.org/en/1608813775

And my comment with russian language proofs.

> Local news site based in his hometown about that: http://www.uezdny-gorod.ru/novosti/litseist-iz-liven-prigovoryen-voennym-sudom-k-pyati-godam-kolonii-za-uchastie-v-terroristicheskoy-or.html Federal registry information is at the bottom, so it's legal status with russian gov is verifiable. > > I'd add an article from one of the oldest NGO Memorial to add to what you posted: https://memopzk.org/figurant/turbin-arsenij/ They are specialized on repressions too, but originally on rehabilitating soviet political prisoners and collecting historical data in archives. Not now, though. > > I'm a native speaker and after googling around I conclude that sources that are loyal to power doesn't mention Арсений Турбин at all and many but one post in VK about his sentence are banned via the order of Генпрокуратура originated in the first day of war. More about this order that's used against maaany resources: https://roskomsvoboda.org/en/post/ban-1500-ssylok/ > > As a bonus: I think I've found his VK page. Name fits, city fits, soccer interests fit, age is faked by adding years to avoid age restrictions, political position is not democratic but rather pro-Wagner and anti-Putin, more like an 'angry patriots' crowd. Not a direct link due to good taste rules, but he is googlable by his name I put in bold and the end of his handle is numbers. This account is new but it's created and started posting before the war. These articles mention another status in his bio, but as it wasn't posted, I can't tell if someone changed it - yet, it also tracks with Prigo worship.

My opinion #1: The boy is real, he is charged and his process is silenced in federal news, everything posted kinda tracks. We can't verify his connection to the armed russian fighters on ukrainian side, but he doesn't like Putin and was fanboying after Prigo's macho vibes, so he could try to contact them, and then dropped it? That part of the story is told by NGOs with a big local rep, so I trust them to fill that hole.

My opinion #2: OP has probably mistaken ML instance for another one and after the mods noticed it (and proofs started to appear) they deleted the post due to their bias alone.

I've not posted there yet, so if it doesn't fit, please tell me. Also, keep in mind that he is just a 15yo boy and he's hardly thinking for himself.

disclaimer i have no opinion on this “media bias/fact check”, site. i just think the “don’t outsource critical thinking” comment is hilarious
