finally decided to create an account here after lurking for well over a year and originally posting on r/cth years ago

i’ve been listening to my very liberal family talk about what’s going on and i love them but their liberal brain worms are just so maddening. “someone should just assassinate putin” “putin is trying to recreate the ussr” “how can ukraine be run by nazis when their president is jewish?? stupid putin” “putin is doing this because he’s a narcissist and a dictator” “this basically means that china is free to do the same to taiwan if they wanted nothing’s stopping them” and “ukraine and russia are like a toxic, abusive relationship where russia won’t let ukraine see other people (NATO) after they broke up (collapse of USSR)” are just a few examples of the takes i’ve heard from them today. now they’re going on about russian cyber attacks (“they did it in 2016 for our election!” lol), at least they’re anti-american intervention in this case. i’ve dropped a few things here and there about the azov battalion being nazis and about how the U.S. meddling to get Yeltsin elected and the 2014 U.S backed Ukranian coup were key to what’s happening now unfolding, but just to give them tid bits of information i’m far too exhausted to effort post irl and argue with them about how NATO is actually in the wrong here.

but yeah about all of that seems to be the average, american liberal consensus on the subject right now based off what i’ve been hearing

it’s absolutely asinine that he hasn’t, it’ll only lead to more innocent ukranian people getting killed as he’s basically barring any man 18-60 from leaving and forcing them to fight. it’s like a death cult, all the major political figures involved in this are responsible for the bloodshed of the russian and ukranian working class through both warfare and sanctions.

oh yeah definitely they’ve had msbnc on and i heard a lot of those talking points said by the pundits

LMFAOOOOOO

i kinda did until he forced every man 18-60 into comabt, the man has blood on his hands

probably one of the worst takes about russia i’ve heard today is that “russian troll farms” popularized brexit in british internet circles in order to break up the eu so russia would become a more powerful force in europe. like russia is single-handedly responsible for brexit… the same type of people that believe this also believe putin wants to restore the ussr by invading ukraine and that they hacked the 2016 election. what no materialism and constant propagandizing does to a mf

that’s because trump and putin are frickin gay together and they have gay slavic sex!! checkmate russian bot 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

in no order probably halo 3, fallout new vegas, arkham city, rdr2, and mgs5

i feel like that’s a fairly normie list so i guess that makes me a fairly normie leftist

anything that isn’t r/moviescirclejerk or r/playboicarti
