    I think the first question you should ask yourself is why do you think Putin spreads propaganda, but the western media spreads the truth and facts?

      You’re definitely not living in Russia or in one of the neighbouring countries, bet.

          As I replied in somewhere else in this thread “There are right-wing cocksuckers in every army, in every nation. Weirdly enough fascists and nationalists love to join the army hmmmm”

          But let me rephrase “neighbouring countries” as ex-ussr countries. They’re all lining up to join Russia again.

              As an extreme example, do you think the US military and Nazi Germany had the same amount of Nazis?

              I’m on your side for the rest of the post, but this example isn’t great imo. The US is absolutely a Nazi country, they were just more successful in their settler genocide. They literally have the largest prison pop in the whole world, full of impoverished people of color who are literally enslaved. Many in prison are sterilized against their will. They have for generations killed millions and millions of people abroad to stop communism and immiserate and expropriate those populations. Like I could go on, but Nazi Germany was inspired by the US. They even said the US went a little too far. The US won the war and is the most powerful country on the planet, so they wrote the history and they control the media narrative, so we can pretend like the Germans were worse

              The part about everyone lining up to join Russia was sarcastic. No ex-ussr country wants to go back to how things were.

                “Soviet Union bad” So you’d rather those dirty subhuman asiatics stayed uncivilized and barbaric instead of becoming the second-strongest world power? Are we a little… afraid?

                    Maybe all those articles I wrote for the China Bad Times is rubbing off on my actual speech patters.

                    But screw you anyways, you ultra or demsoc or whatever you are.

                    Edit: you’re probably a demsoc.

                You know nothing, it must be difficult as a 15 year old Western kid to think you can speak for Eastern Europeans.

                Best case scenario you’re Polish or Hungarian, and have guzzled stories from your fascist grandparents about the horrors of the Union.

                  My Eastern European family had to flee Ukraine when the Nazis decided to slaughter their entire town during the Holocaust. I’m sure it was just terrible for the Nazis left behind to have Communists come in, so sad
