    Yes. He was literally propped up by American capitalists. r/GenZedong is really hyping the Russian side of the war right now lol. One of the front page posts is a propaganda video of Russian soldiers giving Ukrainian POWs cigarettes and acting like that’s how Russia is officially conducting war

      Some people are happier being contrarían than leftist.

      If it was the United Socialist States of America they'd be right wing.

        Thank you for reminding me of the Red World mod for HOI4 and how Ben Shapiro is a spokesman for one of the US Socialist states

      GenZedong is pretty gross (like most of Reddit) so I’m not surprised

        Some people can't stop memeing to save their own lives. I can relate.

      I think it is perfectly fair to point out, if it ends up being the case at the end, that if Russia can conduct war without the same level of humanitarian suffering as the US or all of the shit going on in Syria/Yemen that this level of human suffering is a political(more ideological even) choice and not a necessity or inevitability.

      If the liberal democracies cared at all about their humanitarian concerns there are a dozen conflicts going on right now for them to try and do something about it.

      However Russia will be put in the spotlight, so they are going to put on a show whenever they can. Genuine or not, political or not this is all a result of decades of humanitarian rethoric followed by absolutely zero action against US and allies war crimes.

      Everything becomes a spectacle for all sides.

      Now he is propped up by his local capitalists and acts in the interest of Russian oligarchs instead of European corporations, so he is enemy of the west.

      GenZdong is controlled opposition. Just a bunch of right-wingers acting like how they imagine left-wingers act.

        I don’t think that’s fair. I think the name is just reflective of the sub, they’re zoomers. I imagine many are in high school or fresh out of high school and still in their edgy phase

          Yeah, and /teenagers is also just ordinary kids making edgy jokes and not Nazis trying to groom the next generation with fascist propaganda 😒
