Pretty gross. Comments every bit as awful as you're thinking. Just a reminder of the abysmal state of non-cishet rights and acceptance in Russia.
Edit: can't get my screenshot to load properly so text:
T1: Putin on accusations against Russia in the energy crisis: "European countries are big specialists in non-traditional relationships and themselves abandoned traditional energy sources in favor of non-traditional ones"
T2: ("non-traditional relationships" is the legal term in Russia for all things "LGBT")
Oh, you're a fascist. Cool. Don't think we welcome fascists here.
lol go fight for American proxies in Balkanized Syria and help loot oil and call yourself a libsoc, continue the grand western left tradition of always being wrong
Call me an Assadist, you know you wanna
Keep supporting the Islamic Republic and the eternal presidency of the Assad family. Such a supporter of the people and their revolution.
I'm not a libsoc, but I'm certainly a socialist. You seem to either be the world's most credulous socialist or a fascist.
Call me an Assadist. You yearn to. Take me back to 2016 before 99% of you lot realized you were wrong
There's no such thing as an Assadist. That would imply that the Assad family has any ideology beyond self-promotion and paranoia.
and killing American and Turkish dogs
Killing isn't an ideology, it's an action. If Assad has any ideology at all, it is Alawi supremacist nationalism, but even that suggests far more belief in something than the man has ever demonstrated.
Bashar Al Assad is a flailing failure of a dictator who has shattered what remained of the economy he accidentally inherited from his father when his loser brother was turned into soup-like homogenate in the Swiss Alps. His father betrayed everyone he ever worked with and regularly backed supporting reactionary regimes throughout the region. He kills people because it is the only way to retain power. Most of the people he kills are Syrians.
Soleimani, at least, had an ideology. He was a member of the IRGC, the organization primarily responsible for the preservation of the Islamic State. A regime that ascended into power with the help of Marxists, then turned around and murdered them in the streets. The command of the IRGC is a profiteering elite permitted special monopolies over industrial interests. In short, it supports hyperexploitative capitalism mixed with reactionary bigotry. A great ideology for a "people's hero", I'm sure.
Anti-imperialism isn’t an ideology, it’s an action. That’s my point. The ones doing the actions are the ones you are attacking
In the case of Syria, the phrase you're looking for is: "The ones bombing the people who actually fought ISIS are doing so for totally anti-imperialist reasons, because anti-imperialism is when you bomb the people who are doing real, beneficial things for people, because America and dogs or something."
Hell, the fucking SDF is better at killing Turks than Assad is!
One of the hosts of one of the podcasts people like on here did actually go to Syria to fight for the Kurds.
Though that was before US involvement I think
