      And it doesn't help that when I actually go out to touch grass, my town has put Ukrainian flags all over the place

      I don't want to move into the woods, but I just damn well might as this point

    This isn't all that surprising. Liberals think overt aggression/violence is fascism. This is why you get morons saying shit like "antifa sure us ironic cus they sure act like nazis by punching people!Hur hur hur!"

    The literally don't understand or even comprehend class dynamics. So in this instance Russia=aggressor=fascist therefore everyone else good. Which like yeah fair enough as far as Russia goes, nato is fascist as hell and so is ukraine.

      While this is true they are also led/organized by intellectually dishonest propagandists

        1: obviously the US is more fascist than any other country, since the US bankrolls and seeds fascism everywhere else

        2: saying there's "more in the US" is an asinine point since ukraine 41 million people and the USA has 330 million people. Even if only 15% of Americans are fascists, that's about the entire population of Ukraine.

    r/neoliberal was created by and is astroturfed by a fossil fuel think tank called the Progressive Policy Institute, as part of their "Neoliberal Project"

    PPI has been around since 1989 and views itself as Bill Clinton's "idea mill" aka think tank. Why I call them a fossil fuel think tank is detailed here. They oppose climate action, defend fracking, and receive donations from Exxon Mobil.

    it's safe to say that their upvotes are farmed, and their organic support is mostly bourgeois economics and political science majors and interns who hope to work for PPI or a similar think tank one day. It's basically a Neera Tanden farm.

    The creator of r/neoliberal, Colin Mortimer, is the Director of the Center for New Liberalism at PPI, which seeks to "develop a salient identity around the center-left values that have increasingly come under fire in this age of populism."

    All I'm saying is that if I had access to Black IC I would deploy it against /r/neoliberal.

    Technically given what the third arrow means and what a bundle of sticks is, this has all kinda come full circle
