Just to add to what others said another reason we don’t really bother focusing on Russia is that the entire western media sphere is intensely focused on demonizing Russia already, we are here to provide people larger context and alternate perspectives based on our historical and materialist analysis rooted as best we can in the way things are and not an ideal of what ought to be.
Totally valid point, a perspective from an outsider though is that exclusively focusing on one while ignoring the other pushes outsiders away from hearing and learning your perspectives. However if you don’t really care about interacting with outsiders it doesn’t matter really I suppose.
I like interacting on hexbear because I think having your opinions and views challenged is healthy, and doing this has actually pulled me out of a lot of western propaganda and I’ve taken to sharing some views with users here, however a lot of other people just block this instance and are locked away forever In their little echo chambers.
This instance is for leftists, not for leftists to cater to liberals. We do not care if you find us talking amongst ourselves distasteful. You have the entire rest of the Western media and social media to cater to you.
