Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Trump: I'm walking away from negotiations, screw this

Russia escalates back into full war footing

Trump: WHAT? NO. THIS IS UNFAIR AND RUDE. You're crazy for continuing to fight the war you've been fighting for years!

Vladimir Putin, has been the most stable and consistent western liberal leader. He clearly states his aims, stays the course, and has kept the current conflict relatively constrained. Meanwhile, anglosphere leaders are constantly twisting, turning, and seemingly trying to create instability on purpose. European leaders, it seems, have one element of consistency: they can always be counted on to do the wrong thing.

I don't even like Putin.

Libs forcing me to pinch the bridge of my nose and run critical support for Putin in very specific situations.

cheeto-man seeing the mineral exploitation deal going up in smoke.

Lmfao I wonder if all the maga chuds who love Putin now have to change their beliefs immediately

[–] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 40 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

that's not how it works. They will continue believing whatever they did before and just have another layer of rationalizations. Trump is doing 5d chess. He's doing peace through strength. He's doing kayfabe. He's saving face. Or they'll just ignore it and continue to support Trump and not even think about it. These people are unprincipled slobs and ignorant and detached from reality, they don't actually get aggrieved about anything other than the reactionary emotional thing right in front of them at that very moment

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah you're probably right, I'm giving them too much credit. They're cretins.

[–] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

i just looked up cretin and seems it has ableist origins, which I was unaware of. I'm going to edit my comment. I always thought it just described a poor moral character, a low-life but apparently not. this fucking language man, why is every insult ableist, like every single fucking one.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It does? I always thought it referenced like, what you said. That sucks.

Apparently “cretinism” is a physical and mental disability caused by iodine deficiency

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

did they love putin for actual reasons or just hate joe biden?

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Usually it's either: they're being contrarian and love him because libs have their whole russiagate thing, or they think Putin is heckin' based Christian getting rid of woke and standing against LGBT+.

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

they think Putin is heckin' based Christian getting rid of woke and standing against LGBT+

Unfortunately, Putin is in fact a reactionary even if his hand has been forced into opposing the US in foreign policy, so this isn't entirely that far off for them

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

I know that, what I'm saying is, they like only that aspect. They think he's the final defender of Christian™ values standing against the woke hordes.

[–] LoveWitch@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

I think they just like anti-woke tuff guys.

Orban, Putin, Trump, they have aura that a guy like DeSantis just didn’t.

[–] xiaohongshu@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

According to the recent Gallup poll, there are more Republicans who like China than Russia.

I doubt Putin is that popular among the MAGA chuds in spite of what media is trying to portray.

[–] space_comrade@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

Eh Trump is gonna flip flop on this in a day or two anyway.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

They don't have beliefs except making the groups they hate suffer. Lol at economic anxiety when you vote for a guy that added more debt to you and is fucking up basic goods prices.

Drumpf is just pretending to hate Putler because he’s trying to fool us. It’s NOT GOING TO WORK!!!! We all know who the real puppet is.
