Why is Lemmygrad hated in the wider space of Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

I've been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

unwilling to even engage with the idea that Russia seeks to eliminate Ukrainian identity

Camarada Forte did engage with this argument. The person who created this supposed dossier dictating Russia's desire to destroy the Ukrainian identity has no direct link to the Russian government.

You need evidence we can engage with. We cannot meaningfully engage with empty platitudes.

Meanwhile you will turn yourself in circles to defend Russian aggression

Do you know what was going on in eastern Ukraine, beginning in 2014? Pretty similar to what's going on in Gaza right now. Hint: it was not Russian artillery leveling homes, schools, and hospitals.

But then somehow I’m the brainwashed goon for actually attempting to maintain something resembling ideological consistency.

Awfully defensive there, bud. Speaking of ad hominem. 🙄
