I know the reality is Russia is unfriendly towards the lgbt but it’s important we lie to ourselves and pretend that it’s not for the sake of left unity. Being able to hold two contradictory beliefs is half of what being a leftist is.
I never used Reddit, I never listened to the podcast. I came here from a discord server lol. I’m basically without original sin here. I’m the perfect leftist.
There’s absolutely no way this guy gets taught about in history classes 100 years from now. Maybe it’s the liberal idea of an end of history talking but Trotsky was a much more influential figure than pigfuck. The special operation in ukraine, entirely insignificant in the grand scheme of things, it wasn’t even the largest war in Russia during the 21st century, that would be the Chechen war.
Like as Americans we are constantly exposed to information about this war but there’s other conflicts in the world that are arguably more important. The only reason the news pays attention to it is because it’s white people. Honestly if I ever saw a Ukrainian refugee I would show them combat footage clips of dead Ukrainian soldiers and say “is this your brother?” The Ukrainian identity doesn’t exist, it was created as a reaction towards the collapse of the ussr and their language is a dialect of Russian. Like I don’t support Putin either, he’s not a communist, but like fuck I hate Ukraine a lot more than I hate Russia. Russia I basically mildly dislike for abandoning communism, ukraine is literally ran by nazis.
