If you go to an instance there is "modlog" on the bottom. Search for your own name and presto.
But be warned, it will probably make you angry :(

Also Here on lemmy there seems to be a group (usually easily recognizable by names, profile pics all referring to USSR, DPRK, DDR, etc. etc.) of people that seem to hammer on the "west evil, Russia good" each chance they get. Especially the worldnews on lemmy ml is modded by a group of people that ban for "McCarthyism" but allow death-treats to western politicians stand. These users consistently steer conversations to Russia was forced, NATO Evil and the Ukrainians are Nazi's. This kind of conversation steering probably happens on all social media, and the cesspool that is twitter is unfortunately still used as a news source by actual decision makers.

Sure, if that's your take there is no use further discussing it.

Turned in the perception of Ukranians. The Azov movement was seen by many Ukranians for what they where.. right wing extremists they had no legitimacy. But when Russia invaded they fought the Russians tooth and nail, legitimizing them.

Biden articulated what Putin was saying himself. Joining NATO is the choice of a souverein nation and using that as an excuse for invasion is just that.. an excuse.

So no, I don't think I see it reversed. And what we are seeing unfold is clear. You claim to be anti imperialist but when Russia does it it's OK?

The war is horrible and can end with Russia withdrawing to within their own borders, but that won't happen as Putin will be punished by his "own" and replaced with someone else to do it.

These are called Public Service Announcements and it's the government's job to inform people of health risks, warm them of risks and help protect them.

Absolutely. Hence my original call for a criminal investigation to see if they indeed accepted the risks knowingly as then they should be held accountable.

Like I think all upper management of big oil that knew what they where doing to the planet should be tried in the Hague for Crimes against humanity. I don't care if they are old and long retired, concentration camp guards are also still tried after all these years.

Maybe they can rent some production space in seattle :P

Factory farms are just horror shows

I think you are turning around cause and effect. Fringe political extremist where turned into "heroic defenders of Ukraine the day little green men showed up to separate Crimea and the Donbas from Ukraine. If anything the Russian invasion have them legitimacy. It clearly says so in the links you provided.

Edit: And Putin stated Ukraine was not a country as early as the 90's even though the USSR fell apart and countries that where autonomous before, became independent again.

This is indeed what I meant. I don't think that someone was actively trying to make the plane unsafe, but in the eternal quest for more profit engineers, best practices and safety reports where ignored to make the plane as cheap as possible, resulting in the current ~~flying~~ grounded deathtrap.

Yes, there are extremists in Ukraine. Azov (and others) was this before the war, they where also a political party that did not get enough votes for a single seat in Ukrainian parlement.

And Azov started to militarize.. after the Russian invasion in 2014 as counter weight to Girkin and his extremists who dragged Ukraine into a war.

So what is your point? A whole state is defined by its extremist minority? Ukraine does not have the luxury to crack down on or exclude these groups now they are in an existential battle for survival.

Did writing that made you feel better?
