It almost feels like posting yogthos is cheating
Yogthos is either a fully paid professional propagandist or a highly skilled amateur. Probably the latter.
I'd call him(?) the single worst person of lemmy for the reason that every time he speaks of things that have nothing to do with politics, he seems like an absolutely cool dude. I remember even that in the first weeks of Russia's aggression on Ukraine, he was being kinda somber and realistic about it. But then The Message somehow reached him and he started spouting Russia's propaganda at full blast. He's clearly intelligent and literate while doing this, which is just doubly sad.
In him, Communism has completely ruined a perfectly good person, and it's a tragedy every time it happens.
Yogthos is always here to provide the shittiest of takes and the most phallical of fallacies.
Average Yogthos verbal vomit.
Yogthos is a clown
Lmao, I blocked him so long ago I forgot about his existence. Now look what you brought there, a forgottenone!
Oh that guy. He spends all day on Lenny pushing pro-Russia and pro-Chinese propaganda. It’s probably his job. I’ve asked him to hook me up with extra work, but no leads yet.
Ah yes, the famously communist Russian Federation. The RF is nakedly an imperial fascist regime that doesn't even have communist window dressing, it boggles the mind that self-proclaimed communists and anti-imperialists support them.
For those who like me can't read the original meme text:
"Leftists" whose political opinions on China, DPR Korea, Cuba, Israel, and Ukraine mirror the U.S. State Department's position
And then the face the person is seeing in the mirror is a clown.
I wouldn't have even tried to engage on the China / N Korea / Ukraine side of the analogy. The other one is a lot more absurd. I don't think there is any non-trivial number of "leftists" on Lemmy who think that Israel "has a right to defend herself" and deserves tons of weapons, or that Cuba is a terrorist state.
Kremlin talking points that was thoroughly debunked in 2022 but here we are...
Lol, overthrows the government to be run by the exact same government.
The mental gymnastics are ridiculous.
This war has nothing to do with any people's right to self determination. It is a clash between two imperialist powers. Russia's actions are criminal and cruel and it needs to be stopped. The same goes for China and even more so the DPRK. But the fastest way to do so is to end the war asap. Just because one imperialism is less atrocious doesn't mean it should be a permissible leftist policy to support imperialism. That's what the socdems did in Europe in 1914, and it cost the working class a golden opportunity to revolt. In an imperialist war, the left should always want their own bourgeois state to lose, because it weakens it and makes it easier to topple. On neither side is it the ruling class that is suffering and dying - it's working class people with their views clouded by nationalism, propaganda, and the promise of money or freedom from prison.
What Karl Liebknecht said over 100 years ago has lost nothing of its truth - The main enemy is at home.
Everything said is factual. For 2014 coup and Ukrainian history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKcmNGvaDUs&t=22s
Zelensky's constituntional term has not only expired, but local elections are also suspended. Only Russian liberated regions are having normal elections.
This is like the only war the US has ever legitimately supported to you people, instead of yet another series of lies you are gobbling up again.
