Huh. In my experience they go "Yeah but we’re the good guys! Better us than another country!" The same applies to NATO folks

[–] huf@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

they'll sometimes concede that both of them are bad, and then go back to supporting the US

Wars = Imperialism?

In this case they’re both true of the U.S., no doubt. But imperialism is not about “starting wars”.

Of course they aren't wars, they are special military operations 🤡

Both are terrorists organisations disguised as a country in my book

What do lemmy libs not get about not being anti-communist?

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 33 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Being anti-Russia and anti-communism aren’t the same thing.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

on the other hand, lots of anti-communist types think that Russia is still communist

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

Whoa you said something I agree with. Wild. 😆

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

I hope you're not suggesting Russia is communist
