    I’m glad we can agree on this.

    I was on .ml about 2 years before .world existed and discovered tankies and their ideas

    russia amassing troops on the ukrainian border? just exercises, don’t believe western propaganda.
    Days later, invasion. well no it’s actually ukraine invading russia (I shit you not)
    oh well ok it’s a “military operation”, but that’s because they’re nazis, and bio weapon laboratories to attack russia. Etc,etc

    If you have 2 braincells compare tankie and far right talking points, and underline the similarities

      Please link the upvoted opinions that you claim exist like “Ukraine is the one invading Russia” and agreeing it’s “just a military operation”.

      You won’t, because you’re making this shit up. And I know you won’t because I’ve challenged far too many people to provide evidence of the wide variety of made up shit and none of them ever have.

        it’s most likely from yogsaron yogtos or agreeable landscape

        I took screenshots, I’ll try to dig for them

        Edit: so it was Donbas invasion, my bad, it’s hard to remember bullshit. if I find enough screenshots maybe I’ll make a post to show what c/worldnews on .ml looked like before the reddit migration. Here you see some resistance, but believe me it was mainly tankies, and those absurd posts were upvoted. Sometimes people were trying to inject some sanity, but against the incessant flow of upvoted propaganda, would cash out.

        Typical post mocking the absurdity of an invasion (they were a dime a dozen):
