    stanning for Russia in this is stanning for Putin-style Russian imperialism which is explicitly anti-LGBT and anti-socialist.

    stanning for neo-nazis in this is stanning for nazi-style American-backed imperialism which is explicitly anti-LGBT and anti-socialist. Not supporting nazis and american imperialism != supporting Putin. There is not a "good team" here, aside from opposing American military intervention.

      There are more than two sides to this conflict.

        Help me out then and outline them, what are the different sides to this conflict? Also, given what you said about Russia as a contrast, which one(s) are explicitly pro-LGBT and pro-socialist? Genuinely asking this in good faith.

            That" journalist" had weapons and grenades on them. The article itself is filled with weird paragraphs ranting about "Neo-Stalinism". The article you linked is also a secondary source that links out to Radio Free Europe, which is literally funded by the CIA.

            You're either not aware that you're repeating imperialist propaganda or you're intentionally licking boot. Either way, describing what's outlined in that article as concentration camps is disgustingly flippant and a disservice to survivors of The Shoah. I won't bother arguing a definition of that either way.

            There are no pro-LGBT or pro-socialists in this fight. None that I see.

            Both LPR and DPR have socialists involved in their governments. They are apparently not fully socialist, but I would say that those two states were pro-socialist. I can't speak to whether they are pro-LGBT.

                That website is sketch as hell and also references Radio Free Europe in multiple articles. It also has a lot of questionable stories in it and is clearly very biased against Russia.
