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")
Unclear whether it is still happening, given the current conditions, but it certainly has happened in the past.
Revolutionary socialists selling oil to fund their resistance to two reactionary regimes? Oh no! That's only good when Venezuela does it!
Now who had the oil before, huh? What were they doing with it? Funding an insane hyper-salafist theocratic hell you say? Obviously it is worse that socialists have that oil!
Perhaps you mean before ISIS? Exactly what you accused the YPG/YPJ of doing! Looting that oil to enrich a small ethnic minority!
It sucks that the US are involved, but I support actual existing socialism, not incoherent "anti-imperialism" that has done nothing to harm the hegemon.
Were other "revolutionary socialists" propped up militarily by US army and airforce? Supplying them bases while they are invading a nation, balkanizing it?
I can think of one revolutionary socialist regime that was dependent on US military support to prop it up against a reactionary regime determined to crush it in order to advance the interests of a racial elite, yes. I imagine you could, too, if you thought about it for a moment.
For all your accusations that the western left is too purist, you are the one being a purist when actual existing socialism exists and depends on whatever help it can get to protect itself from reactionary regimes that wish to smash it. Obviously, the US can't be trusted in that role, as it has already basically sold the YPG and SDF out to Turkey in order to get Finland and Sweden into NATO. You can certainly criticize the YPG for being foolish, but you are doing everything in your power to project the reality of the Assad regime onto the YPG, not criticizing it for foolishness.
You're a very skilled liar. You pivot away from anything inconvenient to you and constantly stay on the attack without ever actually saying anything of worth. Everything you accuse the YPG/SDF/Rojava of is the essence of how Assad's government operates. You will continue not to address this reality, because you know it is true.
