Why would a db0 member profess a special need for an anti-Russian sub? Aren’t you against all states?
Lmao amazing to post US government covert operations as the resources about alleged Russian covert operations.
Imperial echo chamber.
What made you a user of dbzer0 and moderator in this community? Dbzer0 is a self-described anarchist instance with rules like “no tankie shit” and I’d expect support for exposing an imperialist government (or any government) from an anarchist.
In your own community’s side bar, the latest article at the first link is on Russia’s disinformation. You also link to Media Bias Fact Check, which marks all of the sources linked from KremlinOps at the time of your comment as either “least biased” or somewhat left-biased and ranging from “mostly factual” to “highly factual”.
Technocrit is an OG dbzer0 user. Please don’t be throwing shade at them.
My concern, and I assume one that is shared by others here, is that MoG and similar communities are mostly just full of jingoistic communist-haters regurgitating western propaganda about Russia and China in an attempt to deflect from the crimes of the imperial core. So by focusing just on Russian propaganda will that in effect simply create a community for western propaganda, which is imo just as [or in fact moreso] rampant as Russian propaganda?
Hopefully you can keep a handle on that, and good luck with your community.
But, an sub focused on modern day Russia has nothing to do with tankies and communism, why assume otherwise?
If it’s focus is on contemporary politics and propaganda then sure, that’s a fair take lol.
Tbh I find that people who immediately get offended about the sub before it had a chance to prove there’s a reason to, are just telling on themselves
To organize them or to discuss them?
Only 4 posts so far, but it looks like a place for discussion. Still not sure if cautionary or celebratory discussions…
So Rose is going to be hoovering threadiverse?
’Been accused by three lemmy.zip accounts of being a Russian bot, instead of an FBI asset.
Epstein files and all that noise. Democrats won’t release.🙄👍
Is that young Putin? Definitely has a serial killer look to him.
As terrible as Putin may be, I don’t think going into physiognomy is a good thing to do. People are just born with their faces. Please don’t reinforce the belief that the shape of your face somehow defines who you are.
I absolutely take your point - Boo Radley comes to mind - but I think the original commenter was speaking as much about the cold look in the eyes as anything else to do with the photo.
Though I admit that could just as easily be projection based on what we know of him. The brain is a very silly bit of meat after all.
Anyone remember the internet test “serial killer or programming language inventor” ?
Fun days.
If phrenology isn’t real why do all the top republicans look like their mothers tried to abort them with a coat hangar?
I’m half joking

Fascism is a hell of a drug.
If you want a serious answer, let’s start with the fact that humans are inherently xenophobic. Hundreds of thousands of years ago humans who didn’t defend themselves from other tribes that looked a bit different from them got plundered and died of starvation. Xenophobia got nurtured in that manner for tens of thousands of years.
In the modern age there is little to no reason to hate people who’s ears are tilted in a slightly different way than your’s, but the mechanism is still deeply ingrained in your brain and wants to be useful. So it starts working the other way. We find those who we don’t like and start finding coincidental traits in their appearance that are common between them. Now instead of disliking people by views we start disliking anyone who has these traits, then the confirmation bias kicks in.
There are stupid and evil people, but these adjectives discribe what’s going on inside their skull, not outside. Works the other way, too. However beautiful the person looks like, they may very well have views of the biggest piece of shit you ever met.
I thought it was Thom Yorke
Yes; if I recall correctly he was a paper-pusher in the KGB.
