inb4 he reluctantly admits azov is just out-and-out fash, but then immediately shifts goalpost to "ok but there's a big fash problem in the russian army too, you know" (aka the 'my dad')
I understand not supporting Ukraine due to it for example banning leftist opposition parties, removing rights for minority languages, fascists in the military etc. But I also see a lot of people actively cheering on and supporting Russia which I dont understand. Is a reactionary dictatorship really preferred to neoliberalism?
I also understand its horrible that the west is using the Ukrainian people as a meat grinder to occupy and weaken Russia, but would a Russian invasion and russification be much better?
I feel like we need to be better than just contrarian, though I cant honestly decide which is best or least worse.
Russia has elections and political parties and separation of powers, it is no more of a 'dictatorship' than the USA or any european country.
Do you really think Putin won 88% of the vote? Also consider the fact that most of the opposition was barred from even running.
prove election fraud or GTFO with your racist phrenology, if putin can brainwash his people or rig elections so easily with a fraction of america's GDP then we are fucked and should stop resisting the fucking psychic russian ubermensch lmfao, its the same shit as arguing that china is a 1984 dystopia because the government has 80% or higher approval rating, pure racism. show us the evidence of election fraud so we can evaluate it.
