Poor Russia. The only non-fascist fascist.
Ah, yes, of course, and Russia is a beautiful country, not doing imperialism right now. They are definitely not murdering innocent people on the daily
There are Russian fascists. Take Navalny, for example, who the US tried to use in its regime change efforts so that it could resume its neoliberal shock therapy plundering that started under Yeltsin and ended under Putin.
Russia is fighting Nazis to liberate Donbas. They are not doing imperialism. They are only killing Nazis.
Liberate is when ecocide?

Reason: russian troll
To say they’re only killing Nazis is a bit of a trolling oversimplification, and I wouldn’t essentialize Russia’s motives down to only liberating the people of the Donbas, but “russian troll” is RussiaGate BlueAnonsense.
As to whether Russia is doing imperialism, I’ll copypasta myself:
Honest question from a non-communist, based on your reply here. Does one need to support Putin to be a Marxist?
In a word, no. In a few more words, support for Russia (not Putin, as historical materialists don’t subscribe to great man theory) is only a partial, temporary, tactical one, in the context of imperialist liberation. Russia is still a capitalist state, though, so it’s a two stage strategy: first liberate colonized bourgeois states from colonizer states, and second revolution within those liberated bourgeois states.
Russia is an interesting case: it has already liberated itself from the post-Soviet “shock therapy” neocolonizers. This occurred during Putin’s administration, which is why he is especially hated by the US. So now the support for Russia is in the context of keeping the colonizers from recolonizing it, and supporting Russia to the extent that it helps other states liberate themselves. But Russia isn’t trying to “liberate” Ukraine, at least not all of Ukraine. It’s trying to resolve the genocidal attacks on the people of the Donbas, and it’s trying to resolve the imperialist military expansion at its border.
Politics on Lemmy confuse the fuck outta me.
You get the usual blend of ⅔ mostly reasonable people and ⅓ super intense people who are not fun to talk to, they just stan different authoritarians.
It's due to the .ml
me: "I like my current lifestyle and have a good group of close friends."
Politicknick: "you support a LGBTQ fascist regime that is hell bent on nazifying the leftist zionistic palestinian in kiev with socialist capitalism, and you should feel horrible about yourself before we kill you and you die."
@ lemmy.ml
The fuck did Ukraine do?
What? You didn't know? They secretly exterminated 6 M russian citizens on a secret 4x4 lab buried deep in Mariupol! And if you need more prove, they are fighting against Russia, they are fascists!!!
Banned all leftist political parties but left the openly nazi ones.
Locked people in the Odessa trade union meeting hall and burned them alive on May 1, 2014, for starters
Source?
Edit: so I figured I go investigate for myself and by "Ukraine" you mean random citizens involved in what was basically a civil war, the people in the building were using it as a fortress, and blockaded themselves inside, and by "people" you meant Russian separatist insurrectionists, who were firing from the building and throwing Molotov cocktails into the crowd below.
They are a puppet of NATO
Lol
ml users leaking
In fairness, this sub in on the ml instance
Uh... How can a organisation like NATO be fascist?
Invasion of Libya, bombing of Yugoslavia
Going to war isn't fascism. Fascism is not a label that means "I think they did something wrong".

Man why do people not know what fascism is?
They are a union of the bourgeoisie of imperialist nations to defend their bourgeois and colonial interest . Fascism is capitalism in decay. And imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism.
So, after redefining fascism, they're fascist. Got it.
If capitalism was the reason then there would be a lot more flags in the image - including Russia. Probably has something to do with a current event....

It seems this meme was a bit too much for imperial core libs, Cool Dude.
I'm not reading every article you posted cuz I have a life, but this random one I clicked says this
To be clear, the Kremlin’s claims that Ukraine is a hornets’ nest of fascists are false: far-right parties performed poorly in Ukraine’s last parliamentary elections, and Ukrainians reacted with alarm to the National Militia’s demonstration in Kiev.
Yeah, there are neo-nazi fascists in Ukraine. And almost every other country on earth. They have a problem, and the war with Russia made it more difficult for them to deal with it. But unless you can't point me to one article (instead of listing a dozen at a time for some reason) that indicates it's backed by the Ukrainian government, then I don't see why the Ukrainian flag should be included in this meme. The US flag, sure, it looks like one of the articles is suggesting the US has supported fascists in Ukraine. But not Ukraine itself, and Russia is absolutely not invading to defeat the neo-nazis in Ukraine. Especially since Putin has been a textbook fascist since he took office and has barely tried to hide it.
