Hi, there have been some controversy on lemmy and in particular lemmy.ml with regards to affiliation with Putin.

I was wondering what were the point of view of the owner of Lemmy.world on the topic.

...isn't there a point at which it's not just 'politics', though? Like mass killing of civilians and genocide?

Like... C'mon. This should be an easy one.

Edit: haha, Taiwan numbah one! Fuck Putin!

What politics do you hold that has never in history been associated with atrocities by its opponents.

I'm not talking about history, though. I'm talking about now. These atrocities are happening now.

The fact that you tacitly admit this, but dismiss it with "well, everyone has some skeletons in their closet" is disturbing. You should rethink your priorities.
