Yeah. I am curious. I might try to breathe some life into !debatebro@ponder.cat by inviting some of them to talk about it there and learn more, but I feel like they probably will not be interested. There's some kind of "ask a tankie" community somewhere, but I feel like that is just going to be a gateway to getting screamed at without learning much. !asklemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml? I feel like I'm probably banned / defederated from there already.

I have heard that at least one of them is known to be a Russian expat-thanks-to-his-family who grew up in a Western country, and so I guess he is reacting out of wanting to still have pride for his homeland without the direct present day experience to calibrate what he says about it. Kind of makes sense to me. I mean, not completely, but it is the explanation I was looking for at least.
