Soviet Premier Putin personally sewed the nazi flags and painted those black sun tattoos on our brave Azov freedom fighters while they slept

    Its kind of frustrating how many American liberals especially seem incapable of grasping this concept because it really shouldn't be that hard for them post Trump/MAGA. Whatever public praise Putin has given for the USSR or Tsarist Russia has basically fuck all to do with actual ideology or policy. Its just a nationalistic dogwhistle to say "REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE A MAJOR WORLD FUCKING POWER!!! FUCK YEAH!"

        If you're ever talking to a western "leftist" (lib) who is sort of refusing to see the point. Ask them if they don't at all see a difference between a Palestinian person flying their flag in front of an israeli blockade, and the trumpsters who were flying american flags outside the capitol on January 6th.

      Gotta see through your own country's nationalistic dogwhistles to apply that sort of critical thought, though.
