They've correctly realized that the US is the greatest force for evil in the world today, then incorrectly extrapolated that to mean that anyone who opposes the US must be good. Bad people often hate each other. Hitler, who killed between 11 and 17 million civilians depending on your definition, abhorred Churchill, who killed a couple million civilians in the Bengal famine.

Ran into it? I was explaining their reasoning. Or are you taking the same stance in the opposite direction, that because Russia is bad the US must be good? I don't think I could have been more clear in my analogy.

Explaining reasoning? That threatens the defense mechanism designed to keep outgroups out.

Maintaining zero comprehension is the point. You're out here making comments designed to get brains thinking.

I don't think you've read what they said. They were agreeing with you, and elaborating.

I often see both sides of this debste depicting their opposite side as much further away from what their positions actually are, from tankies assuming everyone else but them supports USA and isreali imperalism, from loosely speaking "libretarian leftists" saying that tankies uncodinationally support russia as if they were a bastion communism.

this seems to be case the case here

if anyone actually bother reading the positions of both sides they will know that's wrong
