Military desertion is a human right

Deserters have the right to defend themselves (by fragging officers)

reminder: conscription officers are legitimate military targets and shooting them is self defense

What on earth are you talking about?????

The Ukraine government proper was overthrown by the US empire in 2014 for the crime of being friendly with Russia (among other reasons) and then the empire propped up a Nazi regime that spreads Russo-phobia among its populace

I imagine this drafted up real nice in your head, but no using the thought termination word is in fact not a great zinger.

You're on a platform made by communists, there are a lot of us here. Deliberately breaking the rules does get your comments removed.

Do you think FOSS means the software magically appears without anyone creating it? You do, don't you, you fucking idiot. Lemmy, the open-source project to make a reddit-like social media platform was invented and coded by communists. This is a well known fact. But you have made it very clear you have no problem denying reality so long as it fits your cringy, simplistic beliefs.

Do you think Linux is a Finnish software because it was created bh Linus Torvalds? No!? Because that's not how FOSS work

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Why yes, yes I do think Linux was originally created by a Finnish person. This is the comment you said was "dead wrong":

You're on a platform made by communists, there are a lot of us here.

This is not "dead wrong," this is a fact. One you're tried (and failed) to deny so now you're moving the goalposts. It's so fucking obvious I don't know why you would want to keep digging yourself into a deeper hole. It's funny to watch, though. Lemmy does not just "happen to be federated with communist communities." Lemmy was made. by. communists. And now others, including some right wing dipshits (not unlike yourself), are using it as well. The complete opposite of how you were trying to paint the situation.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

The lead developers of Lemmy are communists. This is not "dead wrong." Further, the communist instances are older than most of the right-wing instances. You're free to complain about communists all you want, there are instances where that's the norm, but there are instances where the opposite is the norm, like the one you're visiting right now.

Nice sources commie but have you considered that I can't hear you and Putler is a poopyhead and you probably want to kiss him on the mouth?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The maidan coup is a straight up fact. Only sounds wild to you because you're so deep in a propaganda bubble that you're hearing it for the first time through a forum comment 11 years late.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Usa, it's the empire. It couped ukraine's government in 2014 and replaced them with nuland's handpicked compradors

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago

How can that be true if I don't want it to be?
