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.
I have literally never seen anyone here defend Russia. Making fun of libs crying Russian wolf doesn't equal praise for Russia.
Well... not todays Russia :stalin-garrison:
i only saw one person on the old sub. they were whining about how putin used to be popular on the left as an anti-imperialist until the obama years
You mean until he invaded Georgia?? Think you might have found an unironic Russian op there
