As far as I can tell, this prolifically posting account has literally never posted an article that wasn't negative on Ukraine, and posts about 90% negative on the West in general. For whatever that's worth.

And half the comments in this thread are from queermunist, who's all for the "just let Russia have what it wants and everything will be great" side.

The flood of Rexiters did a lot to smother the tankie presence on the Lemmyverse, but it's clearly still a strong undercurrent.

They're 10% positive on the West? Thank you for this valuable information comrade. We'll be sending them back to the reeducation center for ideological training purposes.

Ha, I knew it! I knew the OP was a Kremlin asset and it wasn't just me grasping for reasons to not engage with an article from a credible mainstream source because it presents an inconvenient reality.

Posting "90% negative on the West in general" is still softballing it.

But yeah... still lots of pro-Russian propaganda flowing around here.

I guess Washington Post is Russian propaganda now...

I didn't attack the source. I just pointed out that someone posting more than most on lemmy could push a certain point of view using any and all sources if they cherry pick.

Thanks for looking into it!

God forbid someone tries to have a well rounded opinion on the situation through all the western propaganda by contributing articles outside of the one narrative you choose to believe.

I actually read most of Nightowl's submissions for the reason you mention, to read outside my "narrative." But they have an agenda and people should know that.

Well I don't believe you're real either.

If this is a play on my username, I laughed.
