      Yeah I’m on the verge of blocking ml as well as hexbear, it’s insane the level of mental gymnastics that’s happening. Like what do they think Russia is going to do any less damage to the world than America if they get the chance?

        Not about that. They have some misguided notion that Russia stands for some imaginary form of communism that is the answer to everything.

        And everything bad in the world is because of Capitalism. And also, everything west of Russia is “The west” and the entire “the west” is one entity.

            Unfortunately, I’ve had plenty of conversations here with people who think exactly this.

            So yes, there are people who literally think this.

              Show me a Lemmy conversation where someone thought that Russia stands for communism in any way. Only right-wing doofuses ever make such claims.
