Hexbear and Lemmygrad cheering

[–] Silverseren@kbin.social 140 points 2 years ago (3 children)

And yet they constantly whine about being defederated and demand to know what they've done, because clearly they've never done anything wrong ever.

The answer to the question is simple, honestly. It's because they're shitty people.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 96 points 2 years ago (5 children)

They're intentionally shitty people. None of them have real political views because they are all still in middle or high school and don't have to pay bills and don't have real jobs. They're entire purpose is to troll. They just get on here and look at what anyone is talking about and take the opposing stance to be pricks. Those people would defend any given serial killer or fascist war monger if it meant someone got upset.

[–] TwoGems@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago (6 children)

They're probably just Russia disinformation bot farms for all we know. If they are real people, that's extremely disappointing to me.

[–] FaeDrifter@midwest.social 17 points 2 years ago

Be disappointed, because many of them are real people.

No no, it's not "trolling," they call it alternative debating!

A sad bunch, the lot of them.

[–] _xDEADBEEF@lemm.ee 22 points 2 years ago

Sounds like they're your run of the mill contrarian cunts

[–] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

If you think that terrible people can't be adults with jobs I suggest you go downtown and eavesdrop on people wearing suits.

People can have “real political views” that are different from yours, y’know.

I think they’re crazy as well, but thinking they’re all just teenagers who don’t know any better is naive. Especially if you look at the US, you should know it’s full of adults with really horrible political views.

[–] tym@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

political views.

The people you're referring to are xenophobic and use the term "political" to mask their hatred. They wouldn't know politics if it bit em in the ass (which it's actively doing with every donation to the orange turd's fund)

I just can’t wait for the damn emoji bug to get fixed. So tired of the same crappy images being posted by them on every comment thread filling up the screen and making browsing the already crappy tankie thread even worse. So glad LW defederated from them.

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 27 points 2 years ago (3 children)

But then how will you appreciate the 1000 different variants on a clown face labelled "Liberals" ?? 😱

Children being thrown off bridges? No, no. He clearly fell. This story is clearly just capitalist propaganda. Great communist countries like China and Russia don't have murder. Everything atrocious is merely done for self-defence.

This is just vile. I don't even know what to say. An Adult attacking Children. He should get his fascist Ass to the Frontline and get brutally murdered. I hope that the Police finds this disgusting POS and locks him up. And I'm terrified that this is happening here in Germany.

Fight on, Ukraine! You have my support till you get the last cm² of you Country back.

Makes me wonder where this guy came from. Is he just some German neo-nazi type or is he a Russian that is a hard core Putin supporter? If the latter, why is he allowed in Germany? Though I suppose the question holds if he's the former too.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 112 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Foreigners living comfortably in the free west while supporting authoritarian assholes in their countries of origin make my blood boil. The fucking Russian bootlickers are just one side of the coin, the Turks who vote at the fucking airport for erdogan and then come back to live in a nice liberal society are just as bad. That’s an utter farce of an election.

That bullshit makes me resent double citizenships, its neither democratic nor fair, to either society. Make your bed and sleep in it.

[–] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am a foreigner living in Germany and it makes my blood boil too. I feel really sorry for germans that they have to deal with these assholes and if they say something about it, they are called, racists, facists or na*is. I honestly wouldnt be mad if Germany gave more strict laws against foreigners, even if that means I have to leave the country.

In my office there is a russian asshole that is the most racist, misognystic, homophobic asshole that I have ever met in my life. He is pro russia and does everything he can to support Russia and damage Germany. Like he will leave lights on or equipment on during the whole night, just to consume electricity and gas.

[–] Aux@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

As an ethnic Russian who migrated West from one of xUSSR countries - this is the reason why I stay as far away as possible from the Russian minority here. Fuck them all! Plus they don't really see me as Russian because I'm not from Russia itself originally, lol.

[–] Yoru@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 years ago

Turkish people telling Turks how Turkey is such a good country and that we should be grateful.... while living in Berlin 😐

[–] suction@lemmy.world 50 points 2 years ago (12 children)

Probably a Russian. Too many are living in Germany while worshipping Russian nationalism.

German neo Nazis wouldn't bother learning Russian. They'd think the kids were speaking Russian in the first place.

[–] MustrumR@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Exactly what I was going to say. If it's anything like in Poland, a typical neo-natzi is either:

  1. a politician doing it to find their niche
  2. a paid actor that somehow despite promoting nationalism says that we should stop supporting Ukraine, it's full of bad Nazis, and shouldn't be a country
  3. a complete moron that follows one of the above and can speak three quarters of a language.

1 Doesn't give a fuck. 2 Does it mainly for money. 3 Can't distinguish anything.

Though again, someone could have told the number 3. what to do.

[–] PrinzMegahertz@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Neo-nazis are Putin supporters, strangely enough. Which makes them traitors in addition to everything else they already are.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !deutschland@feddit.de

Top ten tips and tricks to de-Russofy a maximum amount of countries as fast as possible (the last one is VERY effective).

[–] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Was this in an area that voted for AfD I wonder?
