So like are we gonna ignore how Ukraine has been reviving Bandera's legacy and killing its own people for 8 years because they're ethnically russian? https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Ukraine#2014_coup_d'%C3%A9tat
I guess there are no good guys in war. Still, the invasion is totally unjustified.

You have CIA in the username, fed
Yeah that's why I did the "grief" (didn't take or damage anything, just put Ukraine flags up and changed the pictures). People on here will literally simp for and believe Putin's fascist propaganda (Ukraine is neo-nazi! instead of the nuanced opinion: Azov is neonazi, Ukraine allows it to exist out of a real-politik desire to remain in existence as a state, but is a libdem country in reality) just because it goes against the West and NATO. It really isn't that hard to say "The West makes money off of the war and helped lead to the conditions that lead Putin to invade, BUT the invasion is fundamentally based in Russofascist doctrine AND Ukraine deserves right to self determination and democracy, something we value as leftists".
The grief of course doesn't change anything but I had a jolly good time.
"Why would they do this? Like, how does this help their cause? Last time I checked this does not effect material reality…" 🤓
Some missed highlights:
Michael Parenti University -> Nancy Pelosi's Place
Communists of Australia -> Scott Morrison
Giant wool ukraine flag at the top of the world
Commie posters -> I Heart NATO, Donald Trump pepe, Nancy Pelosi
Villager area labelled as Xinjiang, with a sign saying "Don't worry guys! No genocide here!"
I guess the general stand in lemmygrad is that both Putins Russia and Ukraine are similar levels of shit. It is possible to stand against both.

Comment from that link is removed. Am I supposed to follow this instead? https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/2022_Russo-Ukrainian_conflict
Either way, that's what I'm reading, thanks. :)
Since a couple updates ago comment links don't seem to point to the right one but instead to the parent, it's weird lol. But yes, that was the link. There's also https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Ukraine#2014_coup_d'%C3%A9tat where we explain the Euromaidan coup a little bit, but not in nearly enough detail imo
