I’m from Eastern Europe and not even the hardcore communists here are in favour of Russia’s war of aggression. In fact, the only ones in support of closer ties with a nation that has consistently fucked us over are the neo-nazis who want communion with the Russian Orthodox Church.
It’s mental to see anyone on the left supporting Russia.
Its a bizarre quirk of Terminally online Leftists. Modern Russia is arguably an Organized Crime Ring that owns a country but also meets most if not all of the criteria for Fascism. State controlled media has even voiced support for return to the days of the pre-Soviet Russian Empire.
They believe a lot of what they hear about Russia is propaganda and not true. Oh boy would they get shocked if they actually got what they ask for. You would turn out that all of the propaganda was in fact reality, too often do those two things get confused.
Sometimes they will even go to Russia expecting a warm welcome and they get stuck on the front line and you never hear from them ever again.
Definitely happened to the conservative dude who moved his family to Russia for the bigotry towards Queer people and after signing up for the Army thinking he would be a welder got shipped to the front. Wife was getting increasingly desperate since there was no contact and he probably would have died before getting to talk to her again but the optics were getting too bad for the Russian government to ignore.
Perhaps it’s communist apologist? It’s hard to tell with these people they have so many weird in jokes and references, rather like Nazis and their special numbers
Was expecting a lot of ml / ca rage. Was not disappointet.
