As Gilfoyle said when he gives his AI permission to overwrite code: “The most efficient way to get rid of all the bugs was to get rid of all the software, which is technically and statistically correct.”

A+

Countries claim things all the time. If you take a look at “official” names of countries you will soon understand self claims are meaningless.

I understand you already know this.

they installed a far-right group.

Can we be more specific? Who did? Again, not disputing, but would like to understand.

Edit: also your alternative link did work. I will look into it further.

I am am aware of the reference. I guess the lesson here is to accept that I’m old and many others will not.

Try this one. The fact that the west backed it is pretty damning for it to not have been a genuine “pro-democracy” movement.

Is it that damming? It’s not like the other side didn’t have heavy outside influence as well?

ball so hard

It’s pretty undisputed that Yanukovych was supported by the Donbass heavily. Euromaidan was western-backed, involved the Maidan Massacre, which seems to have been a false flag based on investigation, and was supoorted largely by the far-right.

Western backed isn’t inherently a bad thing, far-right is of course, but your link is 404ing for me

Not trying to “sealion” or anything, just genuinely curious. Is it undisputed that Yanukovych had majority support in Donbas? I’m doing some more research now. Are you saying the Maidan Uprising was overblown or unrepresentative of common opinion?

Edit: and “coup” feels loaded. Not disputing but I would like further explanation if you can.

americans’ collective disregard for thier government admitting to such extreme evils

Do you find much of that on Lemmy?

They are trying to subjugate the Donbass region,

Would you mind going into a bit more detail please?

Some people will blindly attribute it to anyone signed up at your instance so don’t give yourself too much credit.

What does this even mean

How did people take this so seriously, especially on a meme community? (Gore?)

That’s not supposed to be how it works in countries that at least purport to be free. At the very least, we can at least be frustrated at the false advertising.

You don’t have to be paying much attention to know India is not one of those places.

I respect that and apologize.

Immediate watch

Edit:

Demonstrably not

After such a thing you probably don’t want to see the follow-ups anyway. But I’ll keep that in mind.

dot world didn’t care that I was trying and removed it :/

My app doesn’t properly support Lemmy’s way of doing spoiler markup so that felt like a good compromise at the time. I thought you could collapse a comment. Now I’ll know to go to the web in these cases. Thanks.

It’s sarcastic editing in fact.

Edit: my trigger warnings were genuine, despite a bit of humour in the last one.
