Here's hoping Russia doesn't stop at Berlin this time then 😉
Sadly, Russia isn't substantially different at this point. But at least they're not openly embracing fascism, so that's something I guess.
I wish we lived in the world that Libs seem to think we live in, where Russia is secretly funding every group that opposes current-flavor-neoliberalism. That way, we might accidentally get a shot at a better world, but instead we just get fascism or fascism-lite
It's funny how these people love to externalize their problems. They're unable to do any self reflection because that would force them to grapple with the fact that it's their policies that created this situation, so it has to be nefarious external actors like Russia and China subverting their beautiful democracy. The jungle invading the perfect garden they built.
