    western tankies, that say they support everything russia and soviets stand for

    In all seriousness, who are the “Western Tankies” that support post-Perestroika Russia? Russia hasn’t been a cause-celeb of the western left in over 40 years.

    Militant left LGBTQ folks revile the United Russia party, in no small part because of how closely it aligns with the Bush Era War on Terror and Netanyahu Era Israeli genocide.

      Coming from someone who regularly regurgitates Russian talking points on Ukraine?

      lol

      The usual vomit of “I’ve never even seen a tankie in my life!” by someone who regularly plays defense for their campist delusions.
