    Literally "libs mad at him, haha, therefore Putin good"

    I'm a strict adherent to the "fuck the US" rule of thumb, but c'mon use your brain a little bit, don't call him "based". That was my point.

      I feel like the logical endpoint to this train of thought is saying some real bullshit like "Hitler should be applauded for standing up to the USA's imperialism."

        This really is astroturfed bullshit, like literally look at the ratio of the comments and read what the fucking mod commented for fuck sakes, it's beyond parody.

        I expect this stupidty in some Argie meme page made by someone who can't point Russia in a map "haha gusanos mad at Putin, so Putin good and peronist", but in a fucking subreddit called INTERNATIONAL LEFT fucking beyond parody.

        I remember someone on here arguing that Imperial Japan was actually good because they were non-white imperialists and thus inspired the people that they were brutally conquering to rise up against their colonial overlords.

          I spammed that guy with pictures of the corpses of Japanese war crime victims until he deleted his account.

          Shouldn't double down on an "imperialism is good aktually" take if you don't want to see what you're supporting...

          No one here was agreeing with them, though. And they had a history of strange takes about Asia.
