For the record you seem to believe I support America, I don’t.
He maybe doesn’t have the control of the entirety of the country, but has been the central figure for 25 years. That simply doesn’t happen legitimately in a country that isn’t basically a utopia, and we all know Russia is far from that.
No I meant other countries, they have been manipulating the border along Georgia as well, just not as forcefully.
I urge you to watch some of their military parades and festivals, they are straight up dystopian.
By all means, keep deluding yourself into thinking Russia is somehow on the right side of this, just don’t be surprised when the world keeps get worse.
The fact that my original comment was straight up deleted speaks volumes about this community. I was banned from reddit for speaking out against ultra conservatives (in America specially) so I came here. Turns out this community is literally no better than the other side
Putin gained mass support because he sided with the nationalists that kicked out the western imperialists that were looting the remnants of the former USSR’s industry. The 90s were a period of violent reaction, devastation, and incredible poverty for the whole of Eastern Europe. The liberals want to capitulate to the west, and repeat the 90s. The nationalists want to retain the status quo, where the wealthy Russian capitalists retain their hold but without handing over everything to western imperialism. The leftists want socialism again, and this number is rising dramatically:
Trying to understand complex geopolitical issues through a frame of “good vs evil,” rather than a class analysis, pushes you into all forms of absurd contradictions. You need to understand, in Russia hardly anyone supports the liberals, so the nationalists are seen as the best thing by most people outside of the growing Russian left. That’s why Putin keeps winning elections.
Final tidbit, leftists are far better than fascists, and it isn’t even close to comparable. The idea that we are “no better than fascists” just because we disagree with your analysis is wrong, the left stands for progress and the end of western imperialism, we support the working class, not the imperialists and the capitalists.
