I’m in an instance that is federated with pretty much everything. I interact with Hexbear and .ml people fairly frequently. Sure, some hold a reasonable view where what Russia is doing is bad. Many enthusiastically support Russia though.
I’ve listened to them, and try to enter discussions in good faith with an open mind. They will frequently say things like saying Russia is leftist, and appealing to the USSR, while not being critical of Russia drafting the people to die in an imperialist invasion of another nation. There is nothing leftist or anti-imperialist about it. They are, at best, anti-western. That’s all. If you’re anti-imperialist, you can’t support Russia’s continual invasion of other countries, and ethnic cleansing.
