The tankies are giving each other high-fives and are labelling me as a "Eurocentric Swede" which isn't exactly the insult they think it is.
As a leftist, I don’t think I’ve drunk enough red kool aid to come around on Russia. I just don’t get it.
Have you tried looking in the mirror and repeating the phrase "I am the imperialist and it's not ok"
That's the thing. What Russia under Putin is doing is textbook imperialism, not the weird alt-left definition which defines it as "what the US and its allies does". But hey, mangling and redefining terms is a Soviet/Russian tradition.
Stepping back, take a look at what the Russian duma is legislating and point to the "leftist" content. Just the other day they decided that "childfree propaganda" should be outlawed. Breed more cannon fodder for the Motherland!
Oh I was definitely being sarcastic
