    It’s surprising seeing so much Ukraine hate in one comments section. Did something major happen that changed public opinion?

      This is lemmy.ml, which is full of clueless tankies who confuse modern fascist Russia with the Soviet Union and love to consume Russian and Chinese propaganda. Anything “Western” is automatically bad and evil (those damn Anglos or something) and since Ukraine is backed by NATO, it has to be the bad guy. Take a wild guess at what the “.ml” means.

        This is lemmy.ml, which is full of informed leftists (unlike liberal centrists who lie about being leftists) who can see modern Russia performing a geopolitical role in line with the Soviet Union and love to avoid Anglo NATO propaganda. Anything “Western” is automatically bad and evil (those damn Anglos or something) because Western imperialists have a well documented history of inventing atrocities, committing genocides and plundering rest of the world for the past 500 years, and since Ukraine’s democratically elected government got overthrown by USA in 2014 (see Nuland-Pyatt leaked call) for a NATO puppet, and has been committing a genocide of over 14,000 ethnic Russians for the last 8 years, it is the bad guy.

        Take a wild guess at what the “.ml” means. Mali country TLD!

      I guess what changed is that you are not on reddit anymore where nations advertise their propaganda. Ukraine government declared martial law, they are basically a dictatorship.
