This has happened to me on Lemmy and Reddit too. I forget what it was I said - an instance where it seemed to me Russia was technically in the right about something - and there was a big old pile on and many downvotes. I think the assumption was "agree with Russia on anything and you're wrong about everything"

As usual the libs are projecting when they talk about leftists defending every single thing a country does. The reality is that they want everything a US rival does to be bad, every single time, and if you step away from that, no matter the objective facts, you're a "tankie."

On Lemmy you're a "tankie".

Liberals are idiots.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

sometimes i wish i was a tankie; they know things that i don't know. lol

If you support existing socialism, you're already a "tankie" to most people. Hell, consistent anti-Zionism can make you a "tankie" to some.

On Bluesky I'm on a list called "Tankies and their followers"

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 month ago

Lmao, that's so petty. Typical of the fascists to be making lists of suspected communists.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

true, but i want the knowledge and the awareness that comes with it that tankies have

Try my new basic course on Marxism-Leninism! It's a much stripped-back version of my original study guide, targeting around 20 hours of reading time. If you read 15-30 minutes a day, you'll be done in 2-3 months!

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

there's a second list?! i barely touched the first list!

why do you gotta make me look lazy like that?!!! lol

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

This is the list you should use, the old list is getting entirely overhauled as an advanced list. The old list is still up for now, and has archived versions, but it isn't really being maintained like the new, more basic list is.

I'm Russian for wanting the war in Ukraine to end, I'm Russian for citing American news sources about it, and I am apparently in a gay relationship with Vladmir Putin himself for pointing out well-documented Cold War history. I don't know how or when Russia laid claim to all this stuff, but at this point I've got to respect their hustle.

A fellow internet Russian troll bot 🫡 We must begin learning Russian language !!

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

sometimes i wish i knew the language; especially so when i get accused of being one.

i suspect that it will come in handy blue-maga gets angry for advocating voting against the democrat's zionist pro-genocide candidate in the next presidential election. lol

Молодец, Володя! Пожалуйста, явись в ФСБ, чтобы получить следующее задание.

It would come in very handy for piracy, knowing which slur people in online games are calling you, and reading Dostoevsky books in their full unfiltered misery. And Geoguessr.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

and reading Dostoevsky books in their full unfiltered misery.

no thanks, it's bad enough in english already. lol

Congratulations on your relationship, when's the wedding?

The "russian" accusations from europissants are a lot like the "hamas" accusations of pissraelis.

[–] cheesorist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I was genuinely thinking "oh cool im russian" not that I agree with or know what most of their claims are, I dont know half of what theyre talking about

And how many times have users of sopuli called us anti imperialists of being Russian when reminding that the Ukraine war results from NATO's threats

Maybe you've not created an account somewhere that far from X

Poles are essentially Catholic Russians and thus very sus.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 month ago

Ohhh that's a good one, posting this on average Polish social media would cause you to recive many long responses (and some way shorter but much more severe private messages) by people who are totally not extremely mad.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 month ago

According to X users, those are always Russian too. However, in reality...

I am a Russian affiliated to Hamas, the 50 cent army and the Tupac legionaries. I am also a proud .ML (monster lover) and have a hot tanksona.
