By equating corruption to treason, Zelenskyy’s office is manipulating the public’s desire for justice, said Vitaly Shabunin, head of the Anti-Corruption Action Center (Antac), a Ukrainian nongovernmental organization that monitors graft. In reality, Shabunin added, Zelenskyy’s office is pursuing other goals: to protect high-level officials from corruption charges and obtain tools to destroy opponents.
OP is known tankie just fyi. Doesn’t justify US or Ukrainian actions but make sure you understand that the reason for posting this isn’t out of any actual concern for human beings. They’re also peddling covid conspiracies
Thank you. I hate tankies.
I’ve heard this term on Lemmy and pretty much nowhere else. What is a tankie?
Authoritarian communist, it can be hard to pin down what they stand for, because they aren’t clear on much except, “death to America”, and a hatred of capitalism (understandable tbh). They tend to be pro-Russia and pro-China.
I’ve heard the term a while, but lemmy is the first time I actually interacted with any.
It’s such a broken mindset. They just want to trade one set of chains for another. China and Russia aren’t even communist anymore. They are both capitalist with totalitarian characteristics.
Huh, TIL. Thanks!
Wannabe McCarthy here copy pasting this comment all of the place; “known tankie”, are you fucking serious with this?
There there Lenin Hitler, here is your pills
This user has posted this same comment in multiple threads. Clearly they have an agenda or something.
Bad faith personal attacks clearly are a sign of “concern for human beings,” we could all learn from you.
“I know you are but what am I”
Tankies really have no coherent arguments
