I don't keep links to comments like some freak
If I believed you capable of basic reading comprehension I might bother to go find some, but since you live in the filth and say you currently don't see it, well, I just don't want to waste my time
So personal insults and a lack of evidence? Again, the only "support" for the Russian Federation I have seen from any Leftists is the critical kind, purely with respect to Russia's anti-US position it adopts out of necessity. I have seen no support for their repression of the LGBTQIA+ community, horrific Capitalism, intense nationalism, etc. If you have seen anyone claiming to be a leftist and supporting those aspects of Russia then I want to see it, because that's horrendously stupid and I want to call them out on it.
Again, you live in the filth and pretend it's perfectly clean, why should I go out of my way when you could open your eyes instead?
I don't argue that every Marxist is "perfectly clean." I am saying that I have only seen what I have described, if you can't substantiate your claims then I don't see the point. Why would anyone claiming to be a Marxist support the economic system of the Russian Federation? The rampant misogyny and horrible treatment of queer people? The intense nationalism? There's no Marxist justification for that, which is why I am asking.
Remember when I said I didn't think you had the reading comprehension to bother with? Good example right there. I never said you argued that, I used what's called a metaphor and it flew right over your head
So yeah I completely believe you've managed to miss it happening right under your nose
I read what you said, I know what you meant, and I am pushing back against your biases as I don't believe they have merit. You have just resorted to personal insults and haven't actually come up with anything to support your claims, despite me trying to have an actual discussion. Wnat's the point of engaging? To vent your frustrations by calling me stupid for not agreeing with you?
