Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

“The Jews managed to force the world to remember the Holocaust,” Lukashenko declared. “The entire world grovels before them and gives in to them. They are afraid to say a single word out of place.”

“The history of Germany is a copy of the history of Belarus. Germany was raised from ruins thanks to firm authority and not everything connected with that well-known figure Hitler was bad. German order evolved over the centuries and attained its peak under Hitler. This corresponds with our understanding of a presidential republic and the role of a president in it,” Lukashenko said in 1995, perhaps anticipating that he would still be in power more than a quarter of century later.

~~I might actually be flat-out wrong about Assad tho,~~ maybe Erdogan is a better example

Nah assad recently decided to do "was it really 6 millions" shit. Luka is just an idiot, i always see this quote from the 90s, but not something weird after, idk why (did he get better or just start masking)

My impression of Assad was that the West, according to him, uses Hitler and the killed Jews as a rationale to crush any foreign policy enemies who they compare to the former and its atrocities....

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Lukashenko is a piece of shit

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Why? To me, at his very worst, he's less worse than Putin....

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

? Putin is also a piece of shit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's a matter of weighing the shit to see which one is greater magnitude, not a matter of if it's shit or not

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well, what has Lukashenk's done worse than Putin, in terms of policy?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I couldn't tell ya, I was just articulating what I thought the other person was trying to say
