    Being pro Russia because you’re pro communist is so fucking weird to me. The Russian federation is an imperialist capitalist oligarchical fascist state.

      Being pro Russia because ‘own the left’ and ‘our guy has autocratic dreams’ is even weirder

        I swear to god it seemed like there was a massive shift in pro Russian sentiment when we all found out Russia had interfered in the 2016 election because

        1. Obama was doing sanctions about it and a certain group of people is always anti Obama, regardless of what that means, politically
        2. Russia had interfered on behalf of the guy they wanted, therefore Russian interference good

      Logic has no place in that weird mob mentality. They’re basically pro fascism, just you know the fascists that aren’t Western. Makes it good fascism somehow.

      Because they’re not communists, they’re just fascists that don’t like being called fascists.
