    While it often applies to America as well, these people forget that they’re deflecting legitimate criticism of totalitarianism, and did not answer to that. When that occurs, it’s bound to be bad faith.

    Now if only they did answer and only then moved on to the USA… that’d be better. Self-criticism is important.

    Funny that you use the wrong logo for modern Russian apologists, it’s an elephant these days.

      I mean, the GOP are Russian apologists too, but this is tankiejerk - we’re discussing primarily tankies. Who are very much still Russia apologists who openly support the genocide of Ukraine.

        Crazy that you dont understand tankies then. You’re either using the wrong flag (tankies that support the USSR) or not realizing that tankies simply support the US having less power, which makes it a diverse group. I have yet to meet a so called tankie that supports modern Russia. All about perspective.

          Dude, you literally come from an instance, where admins claim to be marxist-leninists and ban people for writing bad things about Russia.

          Not to mention constant posting of news from RT or Naked Capitalism there, with latter being the most mind-blowing shit to me - a blog by liberals, that is posted there simply because these liberals are very pro-Russian.

            Not to mention bans for pointing out rt is actual Russian state controlled media and propaganda, followed by calling literally every vaguely western news outlet propaganda.

          How do you live your life that you have such a strong cognitive dissonance? Or you are simply not serious, not sure if that is a better option.

      Funny that your comment here will be allowed to stay up, while anything vaguely dissent-scented gets removed by moderators on your instance.
