            political compass memes is the top host sub for neo-Nazi antisemitism on reddit.

            Reply: First off, pretty sure most of the people saying that shit are just fucking around. Second off, even if they’re not fucking around it’s hilarious. It’s not like they’re planning to blow up buildings and shit, they just drop parenthesis around they or them and say wild shit. If they were inciting violence it’d be one thing, but they’re not! At least not on PCM. It’s a place for all sides of the spectrum to come and bullshit and shitpost and I love it 💕"

        Better question, why doesn't every leftist at this point know that anti-communism and fascism go hand in hand?

    On one hand, there definitely are some people who think exactly like this.

    On the other hand, their number in the whole world does not exceed 3.

      This meme isn't actually that egregious. Besides the comrade Putin part, which ML would disagree? If MLs had to choose between a trans imperialist vs anti-imperialist transphobe, which do you think they'll pick?

        I don't think they would call Bernie centrist

            Because calling Bernie centrist while praising Putin is unlikely. Throw away the centrist part and it goes from describing 3 people to a few million

              Again, why? Almost all the people who would praise Putin from a left wing "anti imperialist" perspective would also call Bernie a centrist.

                I disagree, their point of contention would be him being American president, not the centrism

                  I mean, I know these people, like, personally. Not Americans. There's lots of them and they would absolutely call him a centrist..

    One of those people on the left vooted to destroy Yugoslavia, a socialist country, with a brutal 78 day round the clock bombing campaign that turned Serbia into the cancer capital of Europe because of the Depleted Uranium (CHEMCIAL WEAPONS!!) dropped on that defenceless population killing 160,000 people then NATO supported fascist parties coming to power there that were basically the progenity of the Nazi collaborators of the Balkans

    The other person sent in arms and troops to assist the Donetsk Peoples Republic and the Luhansk Peoples Republic (so literally supporting communists to the hilt) when the West installed a neo-nazi regime in Kiev

    Then he sent in troops and arms to assist the Syrians from having their country cracked apart by Western imperialism (who killed upward of half a million Syrians and displaced god knows how many) and stopped the neo-nazis in Nato in their tracks.

    Putin is 'cancelled' amongst these people. Yet Bernie and Biden are the "lesser evils" lol and they probably vooted for them.
