    There are plenty of leftists that are so poison pilled as to simply side with whomever is against the West, without ever doing any sort of critical thought. Which is in poor form, of course, but even leftists can be pulled into treating politics as a sport.

    But your account is also like 20 mins old and I'm having a hard time believing you're actually posting this in good faith.

      I've been quietly reading on Hexbear since chapo got banned, but I couldn't ignore what I was seeing anymore.

      Got banned from Genzedong for pointing this out too lol.

      to simply side with whomever is against the West,

      I was accused literally of the same thing even though what I said was basically what Varoufakis was saying yesterday or Chomsky last week, and they are hardly "tankies"....

      radlib friends irl are saying "now is not the time to criticize the west" and it's "sus" that I want to criticize NATO this exact week,

      and then minutes later they:

      • cheer on dead Russian soldiers
      • want Russia bombed
      • clapping for random bri*ish people volunteering for UKR, and hoping they kill as many Russians as they can

      While what I'm saying is that cold war 2.0 led to this, and the west bears a good chunk of the blame, and we should hope for peace and a quick resolution of the conflict.. But I'm the "tankie living in a distorted anti-west bubble, who supports Putin", fuckin annoying that everyone's a geopolitical expert now
