    Cool. I'm rooting for Russia wholeheartedly now. And by wholeheartedly I mean by saying "eh" when I hear about this war rather than going "OhhhNOOOOA EVIL GOMMUNISM WAEEEREEDERR" like everyone else in the US rght now.

      Love how Ukrainian propaganda is the number one thing that pushes me towards supporting Russia. And then I have to tell myself that putin is an oligarch who came to power due to the collapse of the ussr.

        If Putin wins Ukraine's already terrible civil rights situation is going to get much, much worse. Recall that you can get arrested in Russia for standing outside with a blank sign in protest. Even "Denazification" will probably be used as an excuse to purge anyone the RF finds politically undesirable, which will almost certainly include commies, anarchists, and other left wing organizations.

            And Russia will likely purge them if it decides to occupy parts of Ukraine and engage in an intense counter-insurgency operation.

          Excuse for purging left wing? Mate, Ukraine hasn’t had a left wing since 8 years ago since the purge. The fact that the two brother got kidnap still hasn’t heard news about them is concerning

      The constant demand that everybody support and prioritize Ukraine is definitely getting to me. It has me instinctively dropping "fuck Ukraine" in the same way I'll instinctively drop "fuck America" every few minutes, or whenever it comes up.

      Both sides suck ass. Ukraine is just so much more obnoxious because libs are falling on their knees in admiration while Ukrainian officials keep talking about how much they respect their actual capital-N Nazi comrades and want to systematically exterminate Russians.
