    🙄 Yes, we all know Russia started a thinly veiled proxy war in 2014 when the Ukrainian people voted in favor of a western friendly government, and then Russia escalated it into a full blown war when that wasn’t getting them the influence over Ukraine that they wanted.

    What I don’t understand, though, is why a bunch of self proclaimed communists are so in favor of expanding the global influence of a post-fascist government. Aren’t communists supposed to be diametrically opposed to fascism? Their wartime Z symbol is essentially a half drawn swastika, like how do you not see it?

    Being in favor of China, as they are at least communists in rhetoric, I get. But really, modern day Russia? Marx would be ashamed.

        You’re not the left. The left hates you. You’re just bloodthirsty edgelords being astroturfed by Russian paid trolls.

        You’re not at all anti-war either, you just want Russia to win the war. You’re the person watching George Floyd getting choked to death here and says “well it’s his fault for resisting.”

        The only thing separating you from actual fascists is username pronouns.

          Hexbear.net was created during the middle of the George Floyd protests after r/chapotraphouse was banned. We have always hated cops and many of us participated in those protests. There are numerous emojis on our site hating cops including

          George Floyd was brutally murdered by a pig who upheld white supremacy and all the other cops watched in support. It’s part of an ongoing reality of cops murdering innocent people just because they can. Cops are an inherent part of the white supremacist institution that is the American government. You will not find anyone on Hexbear who thought George Floyd should “stop resisting”.

            Well that’s quite the wall of text.

            Talk about lacking nuance. You can criticize NATO for plenty, but calling it fascist while ignoring the rise of literal Russian style fascism is telling. You seem to simply use fascism as a synonym for bad without even understanding what it is. Therefore everything you don’t like (i.e. anything western) is automatically labeled fascist, and anything that is actual literal fascism but anti-west is somehow not fascism.

            The war isn’t NATO vs Russia, it’s Ukraine vs Russia. Just because NATO can gain from a weakened Russia doesn’t mean they are responsible for the war or are responsible for dragging it on. Nobody wanted this war, this is purely Russia’s doing. Just because Ukraine has some marginal neo-nazi groups doesn’t mean the country is run by Nazis.

            The great irony is you’re so caught up in this baseless rhetoric believing that you’re fighting fascists that you end up supporting a textbook fascist government engaging in the very same imperial conquest that you accuse the west of.

        Woah there Z Grover. You do realize not all fascists are Nazis, right?

        Russia is the lesser evil huh? Kinda sounds like you do like them, otherwise I can’t imagine the mental gymnastics you’d have to do to support them in conquering Ukraine.
