    "support Zelensky or you support Putin”

    I think if anything, liberals prove how this is actually true. They see anyone not supporting Putin as supporting the US regime and its narratives. I'd rather side with "Putin" than reaffirm liberals belief that 7 billion people exist to make rich white people comfortable.

      because liberals say I support Putin, I support Putin.

      You're literally a case study of my point. Don't let the liberals define you. Do you think Lenin went around saying "fine, I guess I do really support the Kaiser".

          Correct. Lenin would not understand this useless online definition of "support" which does not mean anything. Your takes mean nothing they are not action.

        Yeah that's true. But a lot of the "neither side" stuff I've seen comes of as unprincipled waffling. Wars are often won by one side, so people want to know which side you want to win. And I think the far better outcome is if Russia wins and to state that, and the actual reasons why. Most of these people on twitter and elsewhere aren't looking to have a deep conversation, they're looking to do a character assassination bolster the position of NATO as a "necessary" peacekeeping" "defensive" organization.

          You don't need to have an opinion on who should win the war. You don't even need to discus that if your concerned about internet discourse. If you want to take on NATO then discus NATO. Anytime talking about Putin is time not talking about NATO.
