Real talk! I got appropriate respect for the .ml & hexbear communities, but the lengths they jump through to appease Vlad and Xi are a little much. (Obligatory, my country's leader isn't great either. So I guess my point is moot.)

    Your point isn't moot, multiple countries are allowed to have terrible leaders and it's a bit silly that we're not allowed to have an opinion on international politics if our home country isn't a paragon of ethics (none of them are)

    How fucking hard can it be to stand up to peoples rights and stand up against authoritarianism? Why do most of these people think that just because a dictator calls something socialist or communist it actually becomes socialist and communist? Neither Russia or China are democratic or socialist. Also not even close to communist.

    They just keep on justifying horrible leaders because they are against "the west'.
