          If the US had stayed out of everyone’s business Russia wouldn’t be banging on your back door. Putin is only in power BECAUSE of US interference in Russia.

              Putin is in power because the US interfered in Russian elections under Clinton that ensured Yeltsin won. Yeltsin appointed Putin to be his successor.

                Fuck off. You have no proof for this. You’re just parroting random copytext.

                I lived in russia during the 1996 election (and I speak russian unlike you).

                You’re lying and parroting russian revanchist victimhood narrative propaganda blaming scapegoats for the actions of the russians.

                    Did you read the article?

                    Can you explain the arguments without a web search?

                    Of course not, because you are just reciting online roleplay bullshit.

                    Give me something that would shows you’re not just a random degenerate lying about things you don’t understand.

                    This shouldn’t be difficult.

                    Don’t even bother aggressively googling for random shit. I will of course see through it because … wait for it … I lived in Russia during the 1996 election and I speak russian.

      Nice try, but that won’t work with me.

      Again with the desperate gatekeeping.

      I will state again:

      Ah, you also like to use Douglas Murray’s desperate attempts at gatekeeping what people can and can’t talk about.

      I have not been to Palestine, nor do I speak Arabic, but I fully support the Palestinian people, and I know what my country is doing is fully supporting a genocide.

      I don’t need to visit a certain country or speak any language to be able to see what is really going on.

      More forever wars where the working class is sent to die while the oligarchs sit back and take all the important resources.

          I am just showing everyone how of full of shit you are.

          Yes, it seems that is the goal of many on forums.

          Here is my mantra I try to uphold:

          “We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach… No War but Class War!”

          All is well, thanks for the small chat; peace!
