Is it a reaction to libs overblowing Russiagate? Is it because Putin is allies with Assad? Is it running off the nostalgic fumes of Lenin/Stalin? Is it blank anti-American contrarianism?
Just seems like a mobster tyrant who jails his political opponents and poisons non-compliant oligarchs. The treatment of LGBTQ people is pretty shitty too.
Just seems like a strange sentiment to carry in a leftist community.
Can you link to some of the posts that concerned you?
If it's happening that's kind of shitty, but it's hard to discuss in the abstract.
