I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on !worldnews@sh.itjust.works. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed
edit: the mod in question is @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone . sorry for not originally tagging. i hadn’t realized it was a rule that this must be done. i thought it seemed inappropriate since i was trying to initiate a conversation about a community’s rules and culture rather than start drama about an individual
So why are you defending Russia if Putin is supposedly not wanting to reimplement the USSR? (He is)
Link me to where I have attacked communists, since I’ve defended communism, much to the dismay of my community
But you’re not a communist, Cowbee, you’re an authoritarian tankie.
Putin is trying to take advantage of the rising wave of support for socialism to retain support over the liberal opposition. I already showed that support for socialism is rising in Russia, Putin is opportunistically trying to feign support in order to retain legitimacy, but has no interest in actually implementing socialism.
Secondly, the entire purpose of MeanwhileOnGrad is to oppose communists and communism. “Tankie” isn’t an ideological position, it’s a pejorative for communists.

You don’t trust the BBC?
Not really. But I did actually skim it, and only posted that after I confirmed that it didn’t show what you said it did.
You might want to skim it again
It shows that Putin is a Nationalist, and then ends off with someone that was exiled in 1976 saying “trust me bro he really doesn’t understand why the Soviet Union dissolved and really wants to bring it back, just trust me bro”
And returning soviet union symbols?
Opportunistically using them. Harkening back to the old times. Better times.
