I’m gonna be honest, I’m not enjoying this bit account at all. The Neera one is so obviously ghoulish it works, but this “Putin is the new Chuck Norris” has that weird energy where the irony doesn’t quite work as an effective condemnation.
Putin is not the new Chuck Norris. He’s a right-wing capitalist who helped coup the remnants of the USSR’s government.
Intent of this account is to show that Putin is a fucking ghoul and not someone to cheer for. This is admittedly difficult when:
Ukraine is currently swarming with fucking nazis who are being actively trained and equipped by NATO.
Most western critique/ satire of Putin is based in warmongering, homophobia/transphobia (unacceptable), or state department propaganda.
Leftists must remember that both Russia and Ukraine are bourgeoisie states being pitted against each other by NATO after 8+ years of failed attempts at peace negotiations. The west should not get involved. The only people to support are the working people of both countries and the remnants of the People’s Republics, such that they are.
Regardless, a full collapse of Russia would create something even worse than Putin and be a complete disaster. It would also remove a vital trading partner for most AES projects and further damage their efforts. Again, I am not saying the Russian Federation is socialist, it just inherited many of those trade relationships.
I edited the last comment to reflect that, thank you for the feedback that I needed to tighten that up.

I’m not irony poisoned, just a murderous anti-communist asshole.
