Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

          Five communists got enjailed in Ufa last week for reading Lenin. Being pro-USSR and anti-USA+EU doesnt equate with being pro-Russian Republic

              To you, exposing and opposing blatant disinformation about fascism in the west is defending the Russian Republic. To me, it isn’t.

              By propagating the conspiracy theory that the far right problem in the west stems from Russia, you’re not just being western supremacist (as in “our problems must always be caused by some foreign nation”), you’re also obfuscating the very real material reasons why Europe and the US have a fascist problem, and that’s my issue with you. You’re whitewashing fascism by making up that “the problem with fascism is that it comes from outside”.

                This is what happens when you don’t have proper training in logical argumentation. If you can find me a single instance where i say that fascism is exclusively coming from Russia I’ll concede this argument to you.
