      Lmao sure. Keep simping for the dictator that literally locked up Pussy Riot and LGBTQ folks for existing. Your projection and false concern bullshit doesn’t work for people with more than two neurons to rub together.

            I don’t know why you think opposing America’s forever wars equals claiming that their targets are perfect utopias. The US literally has over 20% of the world’s prison population working as slaves for private profit. Why do you libs always try to use the gays to push your far right agendas? A few comments ago you were calling people homophobic slurs. smh

                This is about as believable as you being a Marxist. You were caught being a homophobe plain and simple. Please stop with the homophobia.

                war crime apologist.

                Show me anywhere I was a war crime apologist Karen. Maybe you should take a few deep breaths before replying. You’re losing it.

                  I don’t give a fuck what you believe, tankie fuck. Your concern trolling while simping for a country and dictator that literally imprisons people like me will never not be obvious, meaningless hypocritical trolling. You christofascist Putinists all give actual communists a bad name. Marx would be ashamed.

                    Where have I been simping? I’m just telling the truth here and you’re balling crying all over your keyboard because you can’t handle reality.

                    What even is “Putinism”? There’s no such thing. You’ve been just trained to repeat nonsense words because you’re credulous and hate filled.

              Lmfao the projection is insane. Where did I ever imply I support America? Fuck America. Fuck the prison industrial complex. But fuck you for playing apologetics for an obvious war of aggression, filled with war crimes, started at the behest of an authoritarian anti-lgbt dictator that happily kills his own people to maintain his tenuous grasp on power. This isn’t hard.

                You’re repeating transparently false American propaganda. It’s America’s proxy war, they’ve openly admitted this on countless occasions. Do you honestly contend that the US is pouring billions into this because they’re humanitarians? Is it? Answer this.

                Russia tried for almost a decade to pursue peace in the face of US/NATO aggression. We later learned from Hollande and Merkel that the US had no intention of allowing for peace. This is recorded historical fact.

                  What’s historical fact is Putin openly talking about wanting to annex Ukraine since before he came to power, and the documented war crimes and atrocities he’s committed in power before, up to and during this war of aggression that - for SoMe ReAsON - you orcs support. Get. Fucked. Tankie. Fuck. 🤡😂

                    Wall of irrelevant gibberish.

                    Do you deny the historical fact that I was talking about?

                    Why can’t you answer simple questions?

                    Why are you so angry?
