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")

    Use context clues, we are obviously discussing the Syrian Kurds and their imperialistic opportunistic allegiance with the American military

      Well, I was pushing back on "the Kurds" as a description of the SDF, since it isn't particularly accurate.

      And imperialism is when people surrounded by stronger enemies take whatever help they can get, huh? You'd fucking hate most revolutionary-period communist parties if you held them to that standard.

        Sounds like something a comprador would say

        Why were fellow Syrians "enemies" while American fascist pig invader genociders were "whatever help they could get".

        Why was this not inverted?

            Aiding imperialist invaders for your own personal advancement is the definition of being a comprador

                I don't see any socialism happening, just redistribution of looted imperial plunder among a small ethnic clique

                what part of "dont be a proxy of the imperialist hegemon, ever, or don't whine about consequences if you do" is hard to understand?

                  That's because you know absolutely nothing about Rojava and you're still talking out of your ass while pretending that the coalition of people there, including a number of different ethnicities, is doing what the state you actually support does: loot the natural resources of Syria to advance a small ethnic clique to the detriment of all other Syrians. That's the Assad government you're describing.

                    YPG/YPJ work with SDF to safeguard American convoys of YPG/YPJ controlled oil (that was not theirs at the start of the conflict) out into Iraq.

                    Do you agree or disagree that this is happening?
