Why did they put coup on quotation marks. The coup isn’t in question
Oh but it is in question. Just ask literally any lib in the fediverse. The Narrative tells us that all of that was just part of how Ukraine is democratic, unlike the totalitarian Russia. If it was a coup, then it was a coup that the wholesome Ukrainian people (none of them Nazis) all wanted. Only the tankies, having fallen for the Russian Disinformation and become Russian bots themselves believe that it was a actual “coup,” so we always have to put it in scare quotes and snicker about how easily misled the authoritarian tankies are. Have you been living under a rock or something, tankie?
Edit: Seriously though, articles like this are taken by the liberals as more evidence that the coup didn’t happen, you know, because the evil
VoldemortPutler said it. That’s literally what the scare quotes are about. The article is reinforcing the false idea that the coup is just Russian disinformation, relying on the fact that they’ve already made everyone believe that Putin is the villain antagonist of the story they’ve crafted. They’re expecting everyone reading to roll their eyes at the “dictator” and say to themselves the same kind of foolish thing [email protected] said below, casting doubt on the fact that the coup happened.Have you been living under a rock or something, tankie?
I try to lol. I honestly can’t imagine what libs actually think is the reason for the war.
The liberals just think that there are inherently evil people like story book villains who have to play the role by throwing a wrench in what would otherwise be a perfectly peaceful and happy capitalist world order since that’s what antagonists do. It’s a form of Great Man Theory; everything would be fine if it weren’t for the bad guys, in this case Putin, who just want to take over for the sake of their own personal vanity. There doesn’t need to be any reasons for the war beyond that for liberals. It’s only materialists who have to worry about looking for material causes of things.
How can you call yourself a socialist when you support a fascist dictator (Putin) running a failing hyper-capitalist petro-state (Russia) conducting an imperialist war of aggression in Ukraine?
Sounds like you’re a liberal just wearing a tattered old Soviet hat. You’re the same as Americans cheering on their imperialist adventures.
How can you call yourself socialist when you pick the NATO boot an repeat US state foreign policy?
Sounds like you’re a scratched iberal. You’re indistinguishable from a blue MAGA cheering on the us imperialist adventures
I haven’t expressed any support for the US or NATO.
You do when you repeat their talking points

was anyone waiting for him to go and say “whoops, all my fault” or what
I mean yeah
I don’t think a fascist dictator can legitimately accuse anyone of a coup.
Why not? Can a murderer not point out a murder?
Apparently not. Russia’s had their license to whitedom revoked, which lasted between the 90s and late 2000s, so only bad-bad things happens in Russia and all good-good democratic things happens in the West (which they are no longer a part of), sweaty. They need to apply to renew their license so they can do good-good things.
It was a coup. That’s just an objective thing that happened regardless of this article or the quatation from Putin
If the war is too hard for Putin, he can get out of Ukraine and go to the Hague to be judged for his war crimes lmao
But Ukraine has had elections since 2014…
Yah, that’s the crisis.
Stalin 2.0 Don’t believe a word he says.
If only, then the Russian Federation would be socialist and not still recovering from the economic devastation capitalism and shock therapy brought.
When reddit sends their libs they’re not sending their best
Bait used to be believable.
The quality of the trolls, is how we know we have organic trolling over at lemmy as opposed to astroturfing. 🤣
