Ita crazy how most every post I come across expecting to see people fighting underneath it is posted by this person. It seems they’re only here to cause unrest.
If you prefer to see posts and comments which only regurgitate one single opinion, literally all other social networks are better at that. Lemmy is not a good pick for the echo chambers. Reddit for example seems to have single orthodoxy on the Ukraine war.
This is what people like @poVoq@slrpnk.net are cheering on.
Tough decisions all around. The army needs people for defense and they seem to only be able to get men (are women being conscribed?). But men also want to live. Their deaths would be less certain on the front lines if NATO countries hadn’t dragged their feet for a decade.
The least ghoulish liberal has logged on everybody.
LOL. What are you talking about? Is this an LLM? That response made no sense.
If you can’t understand how ghoulish it is for the western backed regime in Ukraine to force people into fighting against their will, what else is there to say to you.
What is with the young man who had to defend the motherland in the great patriotic war?
Majority of Ukrainians fought with the Red Army against the fascists during the Great Patriotic War. People of USSR understood that fascists represented an existential threat to them, and that’s why they fought.
Because they’d be so much better if their country gets occupied and they’re forced to fight in putins next war of aggression to try and conjure yet more people to keep in poverty and ignorance with the rest of the Russian empire.
You people with your fantasy about the evil west are laughable when the alternative is literally Russia - if the west did one thing Russia does then you’d be using that in every anti western screed you rattle off.
People who still can’t understand that Russia won the war are not capable of rational thought, and are not worth trying to have a discussion with.
Ah ‘we won so why are they still fighting?’ Yes that’s not how reality works.
What you mean is ‘Why won’t Europe and the US just let the psychopath dictator invade anyone he wants and lower the standard of living for yet more of the world?’ But the answer to that is too obvious so you know you’d look silly saying it.
The fact that the fighting is still going on doesn’t change the fact that the ultimate outcome of the war is now obvious to anybody with a functioning brain. Eventually, even the most dim witted westerners will have to start grappling with reality.
Noooooo, you don’t understand, wholesome big chungus Ukraine is fighting off those barbaric orcs. We have to send all of the Ukrainian men onto the meat grinder or else
civilizationthe west will fall!
Oh yeah, to forcefully kidnap people from the streets/homes, put them into vans and send them to die a horrible death or not, a truly tough decision we got here…
And please don’t forget, those people for whom this is a hard decision are the good guys trying to save the world, while those who see this as totally not fucking okay are fascists, Russian bots, “want to take our freedom away and kill us”, etc.Funny you should mention fascists.

Thanks for all the links.
Being called fascist (which happens a lot on Lemmy for some reason) when speaking out against Ukrainian government which ticks almost all the boxes from the fascism definition on the wikipedia (dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy), is a brand new level of irony… :/
yeah its a tough decision. get killed in war or get killed by invaders. Do you fight or run when faced with invasion? I think much will depend on if you have wives or children but even single men have mothers and nieces and nephews. Ultimately some will not have such attachments or maybe already lost them to missiles or drones.
They died like human beings, doing something for themselves, instead of dying like pigs for someone else’s money.
It’s horrifying when you realize a modern day country has legit thrown out an entire generation of their youth to the wolves to be eaten or die as they flee at the behest of western capital, freakin’ WWI all over again with empty towns that no one is coming to return to.
Peace with no occupation would be ideal.
For two years the dominant propaganda has been : Russia is losing.
Suddenly, we are expected to believe this?
