Yeah, you can call yourself a leftist all you want, but when 90% of your posts is calling Biden and Zelensky Nazis but you never criticize Putin or Trump, I get certain doubts.
You forgot the genocide denial as well. I don't understand why they worship Russia like the ussr is still around.
Right? They react with appropriate frustration when someone denies the Holocaust happened, but then deny Holodomor with the exact same rhetoric as the Holocaust deniers.
Anarchists didn't like the fucking USSR either.
Trump isn't in power, no one is defending Putin, the US set the stage for the invasion and knew exactly how it would play out. Trying to claim they are defending their right to sovereignty, which is bullshit.
That has to be the shortest contradiction.
Its not a contradiction, several politicians, Biden included, spoke of what would happen if the US threatened NATO expansion into Ukraine. Obama, McCain, Kerry, Nuland, and now Biden set the stage for Ukraine to get invaded. Claiming it was to protect democracy which is bullshit. If the US cared about democracy and sovereignty they wouldn't have orchestrated a coup with the Pakistanian PM.
This war is 100% about decimating Ukraine so capitalists can go in and divide the spoils.
Sure buddy. NATO was responsible for countries wanting to join NATO to forestall Russian invasions.
NATO was also responsible for all of Russia's other post-USSR invasions, I bet.
Life must be interesting when you don't understand history or politics.
Straight from the horses mouth

Must be interesting when you are completely fucking clueless outside the official narrative.
I mean, you'd know lol, with an unbiased source like theconservative.com lol. The people who are defending Russia. And you're just eating it up.
I'm betting you made a judgment based on what you thought the website was. The website was theCONVERSATION.com. But go ahead and stick to your echo chamber and stay ignorant
That's a really round about way to show you're defending the very things you said no one was lol.
No one is defending Russia or Putin? They sure as shit are trying to smoke screen it hard.

The person I replied to was talking about leftists. The only one talking about right wingers is you
The comment was about defending Russia and Putin. You said no one was, you were wrong. Right wingers are the ones doing that, so I showed receipts, to prove you are wrong. Sorry reality upsets you.
Also you literally linked a source to theconservative.com, you can't make this stuff up.
I linked to theCONVERSATION.com. Your echo chamber reactionary thinking has you seeing things that are not there.
So yes, you CAN just make things up
Lol ok bud, ignore everything said and focus on one small thing and yell about it. You've convinced me lol.
It's not one small thing, it's lots of big things
Sure bud.
