I appreciate it. This is not as damning as I would have expected, to be frank. I won’t say I fully agree with that interpretation of the war but it’s a lot more nuanced than just blindly supporting an authoritarian regime “wearing a communist mask”. Russia is not now nor does it even pretend to be communist in any capacity.
To be honest even with this hot take on Russia i’d say his politics are still probably more closely aligned with any given Redditor than they were to the people who run Reddit.
Yup, I’d agree. But again our politics shouldn’t need to align, that’s not my yardstick at all. It’s more the whiplash/volatility between such opposing strong opinions that spooks me.
