The “Muscovites”?
Russians, without any double meanings that Russian sympathizers could jump in and say “aha, racists!” or “aha, russophobes!” over.
The two places in Russia that aren’t pro-Ukrainian war, are Moscow and St Petersburg.
Putins powerbase is sort of the equivalent to Trump or Erdogan. The people in the larger cities don’t like him, but the rural areas love him.
He is a Russophobe. Report him.
Russophobe because he’s antiPutin and anti-invasion? Tf you smoking tankie
You are the one sniffing, projecting neofascist.
Sure, you just keep gargling Putin’s cock and calling everyone else fascists. lmao. I’m a Marxist. Proud anti-imperialist. Full-on America-bad here. But I’m not going to defend a literal authoritarian dictator and an obvious war of aggression. You 🤡
Why do you libs always go with the homophobic insults?
Lmao sure. Keep simping for the dictator that literally locked up Pussy Riot and LGBTQ folks for existing. Your projection and false concern bullshit doesn’t work for people with more than two neurons to rub together.
Pussy Riot are a CIA op.
And the other queer people arrested? Tankie fuck.
If you are a proud anti-imperialist Marxist, I am Karl Marx and strip you of your Marxist label right now. You are a weasel and a grifter, and a useful idiot of genocidal Anglo empire.
In a few days you weasels will experience horror, if you think this is too much. And your brain will either be dewormed or you get contained in some obscure Lemmy instance, or go back to Reddit, the CIA hometown.
Pretty sure that describes pretty much the entire planet now.
Anglosphere != the whole world. Anglosphere is like 10-12% of the world’s population controlling 85-90% of the world’s news media.
