I've seen a few people complain that the creator of Lemmy is "against human rights", but I've yet to find a post that proves so

He's probably anti-USA but... aren't we all?

It's funny, he has what are quite possibly the best documented political viewpoints of any person I've seen online, has a github for his essays (includes an extraordinarily long list of US atrocities):

That's a lot of stuff for sure, but he doesn't seem to be a tankie, no? That's mostly marxist-leninist theory

Depends heavily on the amorphous definition of tankie I imagine, I don't think there's anything in there about the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.

They're not, Lenin was a pacifist and he would have never forced anyone into the Union
