  I have no issue with Russian people, I have an issue with Putin and the Russian state government committing atrocities globally including usurping governments. I am not a liberal, I am an abolitionist and socialist.

  Whether you acknowledge it or now, their bombs will blow you up the same.

    No. This level of xenophobia, American exceptionalism, and McCarthyism are incompatible with actually being an abolitionist and a socialist.

    All bombs will blow you up, genius, including American ones, which blow up more people than anyone else.

      Lmfao it isn’t xenophobia to stand up to a nation or nations actively attacking you with huge military campaigns for millions of dollars. It isnt xenophobia to criticize a foreign government engaging in massive human rights abuses including slavery.

      Where have I stated American exceptionalism even once?

      Where have I stated anything McCarthyism related? Do you think modern Russia is communist? Do you think Putin is communist?

      Can you say anything negative about Putin?

      No shit, I don’t support the US doing this shit either.

        OK? That has nothing to do with the discussion at hand, because that’s not what we were talking about. Unless you’re just deliberately trying to motte-and-bailly out of what you said.

        Where have I stated American exceptionalism even once?

        The bit where you assume that none of America’s problems could be domestic, they’re all the result of a grand conspiracy by evil foreigners.

        Lol, so accusing everyone who disagrees with you of being a secret Russian agent is fine so long as you don’t also call them a communist? Fuck off, you’re being disingenuous and you know; constantly blaming everything on massive infiltration by Russian agents, including attacking all dissent by accusing them of being Russian agents, is McCarthyism regardless of whether Russia is communist.

        Can you say anything negative about Putin?

        Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?

        No shit, I don’t support the US doing this shit either.

        Sure you do, by claiming that when America does it, it’s secretively Russia’s fault, and anyone who criticizes the US for it is secretly Russian.
