I just checked, and even genzedong, who are all 14-year-old USSR fans that haven't read any theory, don't support Putin. Where are all these pseudo-leftist tankies, are they in the room right now?
They conflate being against NATO, as well as side-eyeing how comfortable Ukraine is with neo-nazis, with being pro-Putin. Very much "you're either with us or against us".
Vaushites would be eating Freedom Fries if this was 2003.
Twitter specializes in producing and distributing extremely bad takes, an idea being expressed on twitter is pretty low-quality evidence that it actually exists in any way that matters.
They definitely exist I have to imagine a lot of it is is “if you’re not with us your against us shit” wrt nato as well. Acknowledging faults the west made to get us here but still not liking the Russian federation doesn’t fit neatly in the black and white narratives western media likes to push
eh... "acknowledging faults" still makes it sound like a series of well-intentioned mistakes rather than an intentional and sustained campaign (edit: by the U.S. and NATO) to destabilize Ukraine and start a limited war there.

Would you say most? or just lots?
The slightest skepticism of the NATO position is now supporting Putin.
Last I checked genzedong was full pro Putin and posting videos straight from the Russian ministry of defence about how POWs were treated humanely.

Their attitude is "if you're not with us, you're against us". Anything other than full support for a Ukrainian insurgency means your a Putin lover.
