Hello whataboutism. Leftwing domestic terrorism is not anywhere near as common as rightwing domestic terrorism in the US.

Though in all seriousness, some of the hardest leftists in the US like Nina Turner are also bankrolled by Russia.

A lot of times proponents of fascism portray their scapegoat as both strong and weak, but for Russia, they actually are both strong and weak. Just in different ways. Russia’s skills are in stoking conflict and disinformation, and not in actually fighting a war.

Fine. The whole Serbia-Kosovo conflict can be a bullet point.

Definitely seems like Russia wants a World War III, and I don’t (necessarily) mean that in a nuclear way, but with lots of conflicts going on across the world. Pretty much every major stoked conflict has some Russian influence on the anti-democratic side.

Their own invasion of Ukraine

China’s aggression towards Taiwan

Serbia’s aggression towards Kosovo

Right wing domestic terrorism and Russia-favoritism in the United States

Bolsonaro’s aborted coup attempt in Brazil

Letting Azerbaijan attack Russia’s supposed ally Armenia

Aiding the Iranian regime in attacking their citizens

Plenty more examples with Russia stoking the conflict.

People love to jump on the “you can’t take a joke” bandwagon even though:

1. plenty of times that excuse is used it wasn’t a joke at all (see: Mike Pompeo’s “2nd Trump Administration” line in the lead up to January 6th)

2. they think a joke gives it a free pass because they can always use that excuse and they don’t like that excuse being called out.

Maybe it’s because I have ADHD or maybe it’s because too many times the excuse is used to just get out of being called a dick for making inappropriate statements, but I’ve kind of stopped caring whether people making inappropriate statements are joking or not.

Because I’m the first person ever to get upset at a joke. /s

It’s a bad joke and it shouldn’t have been made.

Just because it’s sarcasm doesn’t give it a free pass.

I don’t care if this is sarcasm or not. You’ve been told to fuck off.
