I'm not being weird here. I'm simply pointing out that the nazi problem in Europe is homegrown. Russia was perfectly happy to work with European libs, but they chose to make an enemy of Russia instead. Don't act surprised that Russia sees Europe as an enemy and working to destabilize it now.
Just because the libs are your enemy doesn’t mean you need to support the far right. Putin is an authoritarian and extremely socially conservative. I think the Ukraine war was a complete waste of life for both sides of the conflict. I’m not happy that Russia is winning though. I’m just a normal citizen getting squeezed by various authoritarian forces rn whether they be Russian or American. I never voted for any of these freaks and I’m not a fan of any of them. Idk what you believe in or where you live but getting your civil liberties shat on whether it’s by NATO forcing us into shitty wars that screwed our economy or having Putin funding a bunch of racist transphobes who want to in the hope that they’ll be his useful idiots fucking sucks. I’m not arguing about whether the Nazis in Austria are home grown obviously they are it’s fucking Austria. I am just telling you that they work with the Russians. Whether you want to believe that is up to you but it’s true. As a normal citizen this shit fucking sucks just like it sucks for people in Russia it sucks for people in Ukraine. I wish we weren’t run by power hungry freaks but that’s the world we live in.
You are right all of this shit was avoidable. I still don’t feel like getting punished for this shit.
Genuinely getting sick of western chauvinist libs pretending you must support right wing authoritarianism based entirely on having analysis detached from western chauvinism. It's fucking baby brain.
I mean if you’re in bed with the FPÖ you support the far right.
Actually now I'm thinking I read that entirely wrong. I thought you were directing that criticism towards yog, not Putin. Blame it on having just got up. Sorry about saying you did a baby brain.
I mean unless yog is putin then no I wasn’t attacking them personally.
The internet is a crappy medium for communication, but I’m a broke shut in.
