lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad users verbally fellate contemporary and historical autocratic mass-murderers they deem to be “leftists”, most recently being Vladimir Putin, Xi Jingping, and Kim Jong Un.

They are, in reality, bitch-made invertebrates who don’t even have the arm-strength to lift their Molotov-sippy-cups out of their premium-outdoor-brand backpacks, let alone form meaningful opinions on economics, political philosophy, or geopolitical reality.

    these people invoke Putin’s name like he’s a demon or malign spirit who will ruin your crops. They can’t wrap their head around the idea that he’s more or less a normal capitalist politician, or that you can talk about him in objective terms. They conflate that with support or admiration. You can’t at all try to understand Putin as a human, or Russia as a country that operates on the basis of various internal/external forces. No, Russia is a metaphysical beast and Putin is Dr. Evil.

    i hate this strain of brainworms so much. Complete disregard or hatred of other countries. Their complaints about supposed tankies all have to do with not having the correct type of nationalism. We don’t spit on non-western countries enough, so that’s the main problem they have with us. I wish they would just outright say it. I wish they would say what they’re truly thinking, that western white nations are morally superior and should dictate the terms of the world instead of other countries.
