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.
the russian federation is a right-wing oligarchy and sucks ass. but i’ll make fun of russiagate and liberal xenophobia all day long
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
No one defending Putin here, Hoss. Post Soviet Russia very cringe and unbased.
This seems like a huge strawman. I never seen people on here defend or praise modern Russian politics.
People do rightfully point out that russia gate is bullshit and they aren’t a threat or boogeyman as much as libs like to pretend.
