What mod post?

Ok, but that’s what a quarantine does. You get the sub back only if you agree to the conditions the admins set.

I dont agree with it either, but it doesnt mean the mods are nazis.

That’s a tactic anticoms will often use. They’ll try to bog you down in very specific whatif scenarios and then drive you to saying something that sounds like a utopia.

I find it helpful to point out how their whatif scenarios are not achievable under capitalism and hence not realistic or serious arguments even from their own point of view.

It was very clear from the beginning that Ukraine was trying to create an incident and then blame Russia.

The way fortnite is monetized is illegal in China.

F stood for fascism.

I mean, probably that’s what it unofficually stands for, considering the proclivities of its members.

dual citizenship

Plenty of countries have the same rule. For example German citizenship requires that you forego other citizenships.

In my limited experience, most poli sci teachers/professors are idealists and liberals.

Not yet it doesn’t (for Germany). There’s discussion about allowing it, but it hasn’t gone through yet, except in cases of people born in Germany to extranational parents.

Nobody anywhere on that post has told him to maybe ask his mom why she’s so against ROC. They just assume she’s been brainwashed by the communists.

Orthodox Christianity is in many ways far more conservative and in much more insidious ways than other forms of christianity. Especially when it comes to Russian and Greek Orthodox conservatives, dogmatic religious fervour and nationalism are usually one and the same, to the point where the conflation between national/cultural identity and religious identity are one and the same. High-ranking priests can very often influence elections and public opinion, and they are usually the most fanatical anti-LGBTQ+ crazies you can find. Alex Jones pales in comparison to the batshit conspiracy theories regarding “the gays” these people openly peddle every chance they get. And a large part of the population listens to them.

After the fall of the USSR, the people who assumed power in these countries are (or need to pretend to be) all about God, Country, Family in the same way that European fascist/conservative dictatorships of the 30s used to be. Ukrainians and Russians aren’t alone on this. Literally every non-left eastern European politician (from Russia all the way to Cyprus) will say similar things to what Putin has said. The Ukrainian politicians are the same. They just pretend otherwise right now, to keep the West supporting them.

The thing is, unfortunately for our morals, Putin is integral at destabilizing the US hegemony, and the global capitalist machine it supports. That doesn’t make Putin a good guy. We critically support Putin and Russia, because stopping US imperialism has more priority than restoring human rights to the LGBTQ+ Russians (as in the US empire needs to be weakened, so we can maybe survive as a species). It’s also important to remember that the only real way this liberation can happen, is through the Russian people themselves and not through the rest of us.
