Has anyone else noticed this, across the fediverse, Lemmy specifically. A lot of new users, but also a lot of first posts that are very inflammatory/rage baity.

Do we have another legit influx of new users? Or do we just have some bad actors trying to stir the pot? Or maybe I’m imagining it.

      We have a saying “People who think too highly of themselves and can’t fix their problems will always make up a bogeyman to blame”

      Did the tankies lead you to support the genocide? Did the tankies keep you from keeping Israel/US accountable for their crimes?

      No buddy, your “countries” did those all on their own and were proud of it. The countries are only changing their tone as the hypocrisy is failing to keep up with the lies.

      But you do you. You’re such good guys and have never done bad to anyone else and also “never” fought among yourselves.

      If it takes some Chinese and Russian trolls to divide you, you’re never really “together” bud. But again whatever makes you sleep at night.

            Degenerate tankies white washing a genocide being commited by a country that is no way communist is not “theory and history.”

            And even “historical” discussion is usually along the lines of “it’s a good thing that Stalin collaborated with the Nazis and split up Europe!” or "Not wanting to have you culture exterminate by the russians is Nazism!

            Keep in mind this is not my first day on Threadiverse! Playing dumb is not going to work with me.

        So people are just pretending that astroturfing by foreign nations isn’t real now? Cool.
