Some comrades over at Hexbear have organized a donation drive for Palestine and, over the past few weeks, have managed to raise over $1500 for verified Palestinian fundraisers. The fediverse is a good place full of good people.

    I dunno what instance you think I’m talking about but literally hexbear users saying shit like:

    “(but also, the ukrainian state genuinely has a nazi problem, not that russia’s invasion had anything to do with that really).”

    Is not pro Ukrainian, it’s russian propaganda.

    You might need to check and see if the hexbear I’m talking about is the same one you are thinking of.

    I’m not here discussing your support for Ukrainians, I have family in Ukraine, so thank you for taking refugees in.

        Good, fuck Ukraine and their victim bullshit, the entire USSR was affected by the Soviet Famine of the 1930s, and relative to their population it wasn’t even the Ukrainians, but the people of Kazakhstan that lost the most people, yet you never hear them be this fucking obnoxious and claim they were “genocided”. The “Holodomor” was not a genocide, it’s Nazi propaganda.

        You’re blind if you think they’re pro-ukrainian there.

        It takes 2 seconds to find shit like this all over hexbear.

        Hexbear is trash and a stain on the fediverse. They give it a bad name and is why the mass majority of instances have defederated from them.

                  You made claims you didn’t back up and moved the goal posts twice, and finally resolved to calling them a tankie.

                  You’re “pro Ukraine” in the same way Zionists are “pro Israel”, they cannot do wrong and they cannot be criticized. Anyone who criticizes Ukraine is a Russian tankie bot.

                  Ukraine does have a Nazi history and a Nazi problem, and that’s separate from and not a defense of Russia or Putin, and rejecting it as tankie logic simply because Putin used it as a talking point is intellectually dishonest.

                  And Zelenski is an unapologetic genocide supporting Zionist, why would anyone collecting funds for victims of Israeli genocide also collect funds for its cheerleaders.

                  We can accept that Russia is wrong and Putin is evil and the war on Ukraine is bad without sanctifying Ukraine and pretending it has no problems.
