Most Lemmy instances and comms are strongly against Israel by now. The average .world account is calling Israel a terrorist nation for the latest attack. The Zionist holdouts are still there but always heavily downvoted.

But then there’s /c/NonCredibleDefense openly celebrating the attacks. Reposting reddit memes and shit. It looks like the first news of it didn’t go over well (the average Ukraine supporter isnt pro-genocide either), so the mod “nuke” started forum sliding by posting a bunch of pager memes. Also those memes have a suspiciously high upvote to comment ratio.

Anyways, not much of a dredge but its interesting to see conventional social media manipulation tactics at play here.

No politics We don’t care if you’re Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

      NonCredibleDefence is geopolitics/military procurement/history/news shitposting subreddit (and lemmy community) that has a very neolib/neocon board culture. It got pretty big when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. They celebrate the deaths of actual human beings through doge memes and tend to discuss warfare in terms better suited for video games. I stopped checking in on the place some time before Prigozin did that weird attempted coup thing, they’re probably even more cancerous now.

      Imagine The Big Bang Theory but its a forum about imperialist mass murder.

      Edit: people post about it on here because it is in many ways the polar opposite of Hexbear, a foil if you will, and therefore easy to hate on.

      NATO fascists who “ironically” laugh at war and suffering. Despicable people with extreme brainworms.

      People post about it because it’s the Dredge Tank and we hate them.

        Its far more just a herding of rootless misanthropes and wehraboos into being pro NATO shitposters like NAFO. In 2015 these would’ve Trump Train Pepe Posters.

    No amount of suffering is enough for these disgusting fascists, killing them is too lenient, torturing them for the rest of their pathetic lives is too lenient, making them feel the grief of losing everything and everyone they love is too lenient. I hate these “people” more than anything can possibly hope to describe and i refuse to feel even the slightest sense of peace until every last one of them is a dark stain on the floor.

    i remember i got banned from there when i pointed out the idea that iranians handed out plastic keys to heaven to child soldiers (which is false beyond the point of parody) is racist.
