-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ .

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Being against the Uganda anti-homosexuality act doesn't mean you stop supporting anti-imperialist struggle and freeing Africa from the debt system.
I don't know what it is about Russia being a bit more developed and having a capitalist government which has shifted a bit towards nationalization of resources since the collapse of the USSR that makes people think "imperialist predation on this country demands neutrality" whereas the same issue is obvious to them in Africa. Except when it's Ethiopia... man all it takes is Radio War Nerd to be like "fuck these guys" 😩😫😩😩😫 and they have an army of these chumps out of nowhere
Most propagandized people in history fr fr
Fuck you genuinely, I’m so tired of people having to constantly reaffirm how that they still have support for Russia or whatever just so they can avoid getting shamed for being pissed about homophobia wrong.
None of the people you @‘d give a single flying fuck about Biden’s state, they want it gone probably more than you. They’re not the ones trying to claim critical support isn’t enough for a capitalist shithole run by one of the fuckers who dissolved the USSR, a shithole that like all capitalist shitholes literally has only “better than the US” as it’s one redeeming quality. You’re the only one here limited by pragmatism, chasing a dream of solidarity from capitalists that will never come.
I DO support Russia because it’s better than the fucked up, genocidal United States, but my support doesn’t have to extend any further than that. My enemy of my enemy is my friend, but that doesn’t mean I have to accept the fact that they hate entire swathes of people like me and make them outright illegal. They [Edit: meaning, whichever legislators have made homosexuality there illegal] have reactionary beliefs and that is an objective truth.
No one here is more angry at Russia than Africa or whatever, my critical support extends identically to all of those countries, and will stop being critical once they fix those issues. As they probably will once colonialist influence and material pressure from the US fades!
Go fuck yourself. And stop assuming people are idiots just so it conforms to your worldview.
