Hexbear and default lemmy libs coming together to laugh at prigozhin getting merced is so goddamn funny lmao.

Literally the no more brother wars meme

ImmortanStalin ,

Gotta take a moment to appreciate the little things

aport ,

Default lemmy libs are happy the leader of a war-crimes-for-hire org is dead.

Hexbear smoothbrains are happy that daddy Putin murdered a political rival.

We are not the same.

Nah i’m happy that another war criminal Nazi is dead, literally no hexbear user likes either prigozhin or putin

Oh, I must have had you confused for another group. Thanks for the correction.

@HornyOnMain@hexbear.net avatar

All hexbear users are communists or anarchists of some kind and like we don’t like the west particularly much and users from the instance have been getting into a lot of arguments about politics with default lemmy users - but we also really dislike neoliberal anti-communist gangsters like Putin, and we fucking despise Nazis PMCs like Prigozhin so in this moment it’s a common enemy dying so both groups are happy

bagend ,

Nah people just lie about us.

Awoo ,

Hexbear smoothbrains are happy that daddy Putin murdered a political rival.

This nonsense is like screaming that Charles Dickens writes books about scifi robots in space. It just demonstrates that you’ve completely failed to do even the most basic level of effort to understand what the actual beliefs of anyone on Hexbear are. You just completely make up your own reality based on some cartoon you have in your head.

Like seriously, go and talk to people first before stating such wrong things so matter of factly.

aport ,

Ok, thank you for the correction. My mistake was believing what others had said about hexbear rather than reading posts in the community myself.

spectre ,

Stop by the news megathread sometime and see/ask for yourself. You probably won’t agree with a lot of stuff (and even that’s partly cause there’s layers of irony caked onto the walls), but it’s not quite as bad as you think.

MossyFeathers , to world in Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia

The thing I find strange about this is, why was he in Russia to begin with? I thought he was last seen in Africa just a couple days ago. How’d he end up on a plane flying between Moscow and St. Petersburg?

gonzo0815 ,

I’m not sure but I think they might have some airports in Africa.

lagomorphlecture ,

That doesn’t sound right. I’m pretty sure you can’t get there by boat either. I can’t really imagine him walking to Russia that fast so this sounds like fake news.

chili1553 ,

big;;;; if true

MossyFeathers ,

gasp but that’s… That’s… impossible! But I was told Africa was all mud huts and wooden spears!!!

Joking aside, I know Africa has airports, but since Wagner has been supposedly moving their operations to Africa to fight against groups like ISIS and al Qaeda I’m a bit surprised that he wasn’t busy setting up operations there. I would think he’d want to be overseeing the operations there since it sounded like they were going to be making that their primary mission now.

Maybe daddy Putin got angy because the move was pulling soldiers out of Russia to fight in Africa. Then he called him for an in-person scolding, and when the scolding didn’t get through to him, Putin had to make an example of him.

Another possibility is that it wasn’t Putin, but instead another military leader who got pissy about Prigozhin being daddy’s favorite, in which case we might see another person fall out a window.

Or maybe it’s all a hoax because Prigozhin knows his life will probably end when his usefulness expires, so he faked his death to try and avoid Putin’s wrath after the war is over.

gonzo0815 ,

I think Putin just waited for some Wagner bosses to be on the same plane. Prigozhin has been successful in Niger and felt safe to fly with Utkin. The leftovers of Wagner will now be integrated into the Russian military.

@stebo02@sopuli.xyz avatar

I’m not sure but maybe him being in Africa was a lie? Maybe to make Putin think he’s not in Russia anymore?

@skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

he recorded a video yelling about something somewhere in sahel two days before incident, and next day he went to russia

why would he stage it up? wagner has known activities in africa

gonzo0815 , (edited ) to world in Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia

I wonder if there is a correlation between drop height and importance of the persons he’s killing.

alvaniss , to world in Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia

It would have been really nice if he had gotten a life sentence in prison instead of that. Just too simple escape for the terrorist. Also it was very stupid to trust dictator’s words when you are half way through the coup of his country

Furbag , to world in Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia

To think he avoided drinking polonium tea and falling out of a window and self inflicted gunshot wound to the head for all this time just to die in a freak tragic accident.

Corran1138 ,

Reports are that Moscow’s anti-air fired on the jet… “accidentally.”

efstajas ,

Really? Got a source for that?

Corkyskog ,

Supposedly this.

I haven’t reviewed the veracity myself, I never do until the dust settles. It’s usually a waste of time unless you’re directly impacted.

Right, definitely a total “accident” How very sad, comrade. If only the pilot had checked for leaking oil lines on the motors before takeoff…

I think we all saw this coming.

Asymptote ,

Wtf was he thinking, flying back into Russia after being given an out? 😂

Rose ,

Where else could he be? The West wouldn’t let him cross, while any ally of Russia would cooperate with Putin. Not that it even has to be an ally after all the assassinations in Europe.

bobman ,

He has more than enough money to escape to south america and never be heard from again.

Rose , (edited )

South American countries are on good terms with Putin, being some of the few that let any Russian enter visa-free. Taking him out would be almost as easy in those countries.

bobman ,

South America is a big place with lots of nooks and crannies and different cultures to hide in and blend with.

I’m sure someone as wealthy as Prigo could’ve lived a very modest lifestyle without ever having to work again and staying incognito for the rest of his days in South America. If South America is really too dangerous (it isn’t) then he also has Asia. There are so many options for rich people it’s insane.

stebo02 ,
@stebo02@sopuli.xyz avatar

did he ever get out of Russia though?

afraid_of_zombies ,

Welcome to Hotel Russia-onia, you can check out but you can never leave.

thereisalamp ,

Wasn’t he in Belarus recently, threatening to take a large contingent of the Wagner group to “sightsee” in Poland?

skillissuer ,
@skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

he was coming back from africa that day, day before he released a video yelling about something in sahel

before that, after mutiny he was effectively exiled to belarus

Rose ,

The exile was a lie. He constantly flew back and forth, and even attended a summit hosted by Putin.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Hey what is the last thing that went thru his mind?

Metal.

Agent641 ,

Badass_panda ,

Not me, I thought he was going to be overtaken with remorse and bludgeon himself to death from behind in a tragic suicide.

chronicledmonocle ,

After shooting himself in the back of the head twice, then jumping out the window.

Vub , to world in Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia

Yay! 🥳 So “denazifying” Ukraine while having SS/nazi tattoos says everything about Wagner, Russia, Putin and all of these fascist cowards. Rest in piss, nazi scum!

@WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net avatar

2 months ago:

In exchange, he gets to not be dead for a while.

Prigozhin should probably be careful touching doorknobs for a while regardless.

Does it count as calling it if I got the method of assassination wrong?

drbluefall ,
@drbluefall@toast.ooo avatar

I’d say it counts for at least half-credit.

addie ,
@addie@feddit.uk avatar

Don’t think so in this case - we were all expecting him to be assassinated somehow, and the old ‘sushi dinner with a nice cup of tea after’ wasn’t very likely. Should have had a sweepstake on his life expectancy - guessing 60 days would have been pretty impressive.

Dagwood222 ,

No. It’s like ‘Clue.’ Need the room, the suspect, and the weapon or it doesn’t count.

emergencyfood ,

Are you sure you haven’t a clue?

Anonymousllama , to world in Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia

Clearly he had a death sentence when he failed in his coup. Why he stayed though is beyond me. Did he think he was window-proof or he’d escape…

Corran1138 ,

He has family in Russia. If he doesn’t get them out, they die painfully. Maybe Pringles had a heart in there somewhere after all.

gonzo0815 ,

Maybe it would have been awkward if he fell out of a window immediately after the coup so they had to wait for him to take a plane.
