    Honestly I think we could be a little bit more critical in our critical support to AES states but any support for them will be seen as supporting “authoritarianism” by libs. Propaganda runs deep.

      Word. It’s hard to stay nuanced when you’re constantly beating back bad faith crap but the effort needs to be made. Sucks that it takes one sentence to scream “TANKIES” and like eight pages to explain anything real.

        And bigoted and racist too, they like to say that one. Because that is what triggers liberals to censor stuff.

        Edit: And even when you prove it to them, they still think you’re wrong because “they saw it”.

      It would also be easier to be more critical if the USSR hadn’t collapsed and we still had 2 major socialist powers instead of having to put all our current hope in China to give socialists worldwide breathing room to organize and actually have our own revolutions

              Which, really, is so much sillier and more fun than if they’d just admit we’re all raging leftist assholes. Maybe they can’t comprehend actually being attacked from the left? It’s very weird.
