    It’s just the Nazi bar problem.

    Even if only one person at the bar is a Nazi, if you keep going everyone is going to call you a Nazi as well once the bar is known for being on with Nazis.

    As long as your ok with being associated with the thing the place is known for then it doesn’t really matter.

    The vocal group of a place is it’s face no matter how big or small that group is.

      Right, and there’s no one who supports Putin on .ml.
      For a group of people who like to fellate themselves talking about “nuance” you people struggle with anyone who has a deeper analysis than “Putin evil, Russians are orcs, Russia is Mordor, Europe is full of elves, zelensky is Aragorn”. It makes you see red and go “OH SO YOU LOVE PUTIN??? WOWWWW”

              edit: anyways prove it. You people keep making this claim, yet none of you have any proof. I should think it would be easy

                Ah yes, I made a typo and therefore anything I say is dumb and wrong.

                You made the assertion that no one on ml supports putin. I’ve argued with many people on ml who support what russia is doing in Ukraine. Now, im not so naive to say that everyone who supports russias annexation is a putin supporter, but by the very fact they support his actions, they implicitly have some level of support of putin. It ain’t hard bruh.

                  What else was there to respond to in your text?

                  You made the assertion that no one on ml supports putin.

                  And your response was an emoji and then a spelling error. What do you think you did?

                  I’ve argued with many people on ml who support what russia is doing in Ukraine.

                  Which isn’t the same as “supporting Putin”. And I have a feeling if you provided receipts to your statement we’d go from “thinks what russia is doing is awesome!” to “thinks the fallout from the war is a net positive, and understands why events occurred as they did.”
                  But until you actually provide receipts, it’s just yet another person yelling about how these damn tankies just love putin and russia and hate democracy and whatever. If this is to continue then I think, beyond actually proving your claims, that we need to establish what you mean when you say “supports”. Do you just mean “will not call him Satan himself and denounce every action as being motivated by pure evil”? or something more substantial than that?

                    I already said it. I’ve had so many interactions where people defend his actions, shielding him from criticism. You dont have to explicitly say “I support putin and all he does” to support putin. Its not like they have i support putin stickers on.

                    You talk about nuance, there it is.
