I'm not defending the state, I'm defending its people. You need to learn the difference.
Rich of you to bring "learning" into this. If you're already this ill informed about Lemmy, then it's clear that you also have no fucking idea what you're talking about in regards to the Russian populace either.
The majority is in support of what is happening in Ukraine, there's literally intercepted calls between wives & soldiers, accepting or even encouraging them to rape, torture or even kill Ukrainian civilians, including kids. You can even go watch street interviews. Even in Moscow & St. Petersburg, which arguably are the most "moderate" Russians, you'll find the majority wanting this not just for Ukraine but the rest of the world too.
And whatever fucking instance you're on, you're clearly confusing lemmy.ml with lemmygrad.ml.
Mbin is a kbin fork, it's not a Lemmy instance.
And no, I'm not confusing lemmygrad with lemmy.ml. They're both hosted by the developers and lemmy.ml is notorious for its Tankie users. Just look at how many of them are in the lemmy.ml worldnews community, spreading disinformation & direct personal attacks on regular people and their opinions. The mods literally do nothing about either, because they have the same mindset. That instance merely pretends to be something more legit, but that falls apart immediately when you actually take a look at it. It's just lemmygrad in disguise.
