I don’t know how but somehow it feels like lemmy is even more full of arrogant, moronic libs than reddit. Such a bloodthirsty, warmongering pack of Western chauvinists. I can’t even stand being anywhere but lemmygrad now. I seriously fucking hate these people.

I don’t even try to engage them in good faith anymore. I just insult them and fan the flames of world war.
This has 9 downvotes from those pieces of shit LMAO
Is there a way to stay federated so they have to read our posts sometimes but they can’t downvote? They can comment, then we can mock them, but silently, anonymously downvoting is too cowardly to abide.
Downvoting doesn’t do anything though. Does it?
Mostly just annoying. Kinda wish the site didn’t have downvotes or maybe even upvotes. Specifically downvotes though are never used to indicate “This info is factually wrong” or “This is a racist comment.” I mean, they might also be, but the primary usage despite any intention years ago is a cathartic “fuck you!” to the person you’re downvoting. It’s used so much for that purpose that I basically mentally swap downvotes for upvotes when it’s a topic that will anger libs. Their disapproval just shows me I probably said something correct (but also further shows the worthlessness of the downvote button). Probably the “like” button is about the only useful such device to indicate engagement but limit butthurt kneejerk downvotes.
And before anyone thinks I’m making this like my life priority: I’m really not. I don’t care that much. It’s just one of those things which seems outdated and should go away but probably never will because the anticipated asshurt is so high. I absolutely know reddit soys, chud or libs, would lose their minds crying over it if it happened (see the time YouTube removed their dislike button- people fucking still try to code it back in lol).
Welp, back to downvoting all the liberal comments :)
If you don’t like downvotes, you could always use hexbear, they should be federating in this upcoming week
I appreciate the recommendation, but I’ll probably keep slogging on the downvotes as badges of honor. After so many years of pissing off swarms of redditors, well, time to do some more I guess. So far I have enjoyed the times I’ve seen people handwringing over the .ml domain (when they learn it can mean more than the country it’s meant for lol) and how they’re like “well yeah spez sucks, BUT ARE WE GONNA GO TO A TANKIE SITE!?” I love it.
Carry on then soldier

Hahahaha. Would you prefer they were conquered by force by Russia? Followed by the many atrocities Russia loves to perpetrate?
Yeah, no. Standing by isn’t the virtuous course of action here.
Surely you’re arguing in good faith? You do understand that of horrible people in the ussr, a Ukranian named Bandera could be argued as the worst one, considering all the collaborating with nazis he did (and thus, actual genocide). And Ukraine sure likes to lionize that Ukrainian Nazi for some reason
This is one of the posts in the last couple of days that prompted me to post this thread.
They always do. Because liberals still navigate the world believing in the objective reality of morality. They think there is real true evil and real true good and that while the US may not be real true good (like them and their family are) at least they can all agree that Russia and China and Iran are real true evil.
Basically, liberals have that scene from Team America playing in their heads on loop during all political thinking sessions: “Yes, dicks fuck pussies. But sometimes dicks fuck assholes.” And they nod to themselves as they pat themselves on the back for understanding that despite the humor, the movie is absolutely right.
Every day, the bigger news communities mirror /r/worldnews more and more. I am already starting to see all the same talking points, the same complaining about tankies, and the same three jokes about China that they already have.
