      I think it matters for Zelensky due to the support from EU countries are cooling down and he feels that he needs to rally the support and keep the show going. This is from Twitter with a screenshot from Italian TV: 69% of survey participants in Italy believe that the country should negotiate with Russia, and only 21% believe that Russia should be confronted.

            The display isn't for liberals, it's for leftists. Becoming popular among liberals requires becoming a liberal.

            They are setting an example for the left. Same as the Greeks.

            Liberals and conservatives are constantly fearmongering about communism taking over their countries.

            That's just america

            Go around and tell people how much you dislike Ukraine and NATO and see how quickly they’ll turn on you.

            Have done many times, most don't care

              Yea I do that literally all the time.

              It was helpful that I was already known as a guy that knows politics and history real good, so I got right out ahead of all the media bullshit in my local agitating and organizing circles.

              The real challenge is reacting to the stuff as quickly as possible and anticipating the pro-empire narrative.

              You just have to make the libs think you're literally predicting the future just because you're slightly ahead of the official state department line.

        Why you bitching ?

        No one thinks that, it's just that among the full scale Zelensky deepthtoating and anti-russia hysteria even these gestures are good to see, maybe even force some convo in Portugal even if it's just from libs shitting on the communists. Also a non insignificant% of people that don't buy into the war and craze can see the only party that didn't go along

        Here in Greece Zelensky brought an Azov Soldier to speak on the parliament. Wasn't it not based that the communist Party refused to go even before they knew and were the ones not embarrassed

      they didn't show up as some sort principled stand against continued support of a far right and largely unrepresentative regime, but because they thought it was boring and they'd rather rub one out at home instead
