    I think this is to be expected from Blahaj.

    /Begin rant

    I don’t support arbitrary hangings (and outside of wartime treason you probably don’t want capital punishment), but I also wouldn’t really consider US “conservative” propagandists to be journalists.

    It’s like the individuals who work on russian government media, they know they are demagogues.

    American oligarch propagandists have a preference for theatrics and elaborate “beating around the bush” rituals, repetitions of popular local polemics, but at the end of the day it’s the same shit like in russia.

    From my time living in the US, I find it extremely hard to believe that individuals like the Kirk fellow are genuine about their “conservative” views or his alleged belief in Christianity.

    The interesting thing is some of the more lucid members of the russian opposition (you don’t hear about them in the English language news, it’s always Navalniy’s wife, Kara-Murza and other goons) do think that senior propagandists should be hanged.

    /End rant

    But I digress.

      Oh my fuck do you know who the guy in the picture was? Do you know what he did?

      Look it up. I won’t hold a bag in front of your mouth; you deserve the same experience with what cones out of it that the rest of us get.

        It’s been a wild few days. People both announcing they don’t know history or symbols from nazis AND defending actual nazis then complaining they did not know about it so not their fault they defended them

      So blahaj is bad for [checks notes] removing Nazi apologia? Alright, good to know you side with defending the Nazis. Not unexpected from someone who calls leftists degenerate roaches.

            You fake leftists are so tedious.

            What I wrote, in the rant section, stands independently of the actions/views of OP.

              So you just so happened to decide to rant about the instance ran by trans people, when they removed a comment defending nazis. Uh huh.

              And how am I a fake leftist? Please, enlighten the class how not defending the Nazis makes me somehow a false leftist.

                This was not clear from the OP’s screenshots, that’s why I made some more commentary about the issue.

                I never said anything about Nazis at all.

                You generally have a positive view of tankies and their support for russian genocidal imperialism and their oligarch regime.

                  I do not support Tankies and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Good to know you can’t read despite trying to figure out my words.

                  I also don’t support China either. Or the USSR. or North Korea. Etc. I don’t support any state pretending to be any form of socialist while still owning the means of production.
