Ah, yes, of course, and Russia is a beautiful country, not doing imperialism right now. They are definitely not murdering innocent people on the daily

Politics on Lemmy confuse the fuck outta me.
You get the usual blend of ⅔ mostly reasonable people and ⅓ super intense people who are not fun to talk to, they just stan different authoritarians.
It's due to the .ml
me: "I like my current lifestyle and have a good group of close friends."
Politicknick: "you support a LGBTQ fascist regime that is hell bent on nazifying the leftist zionistic palestinian in kiev with socialist capitalism, and you should feel horrible about yourself before we kill you and you die."
@ lemmy.ml
What is the .ml for?
That'll be "marxist-leninist"
The fuck did Ukraine do?
In fairness, they defied Russia and had the audacity to want to be sovereign. /S
Gasp.. The audacity! How dare they!
What? You didn't know? They secretly exterminated 6 M russian citizens on a secret 4x4 lab buried deep in Mariupol! And if you need more prove, they are fighting against Russia, they are fascists!!!
Banned all leftist political parties but left the openly nazi ones.
Ah yes, because there definitely wasn't some other common characteristic to the (not only leftist, as you carefully avoided mentioning) parties that were banned
Something like, I don't know, supporting the country actively invading Ukraine, perhaps?
You're just making shit up.
Which bit did I make up?

In fairness, this sub in on the ml instance
Uh... How can a organisation like NATO be fascist?
Invasion of Libya, bombing of Yugoslavia
Going to war isn't fascism. Fascism is not a label that means "I think they did something wrong".
Man why do people not know what fascism is?

I'm not reading every article you posted cuz I have a life, but this random one I clicked says this
To be clear, the Kremlin’s claims that Ukraine is a hornets’ nest of fascists are false: far-right parties performed poorly in Ukraine’s last parliamentary elections, and Ukrainians reacted with alarm to the National Militia’s demonstration in Kiev.
Yeah, there are neo-nazi fascists in Ukraine. And almost every other country on earth. They have a problem, and the war with Russia made it more difficult for them to deal with it. But unless you can't point me to one article (instead of listing a dozen at a time for some reason) that indicates it's backed by the Ukrainian government, then I don't see why the Ukrainian flag should be included in this meme. The US flag, sure, it looks like one of the articles is suggesting the US has supported fascists in Ukraine. But not Ukraine itself, and Russia is absolutely not invading to defeat the neo-nazis in Ukraine. Especially since Putin has been a textbook fascist since he took office and has barely tried to hide it.
