    A link would be more fun to share than a screenshot. Nevertheless I will try this trick to create my own example in future.

      Trying to take photo of the finished cupcake proves to be an impossible task. Photo ends very noisy even in broad daylight. I will invest in some studio lighting and post cupcake then.

      Oh yeah, around here (Portugal) we have a Communist Party and they’re pro-Russia and supported Putin even though present day Russia is actually Fascist and the Portuguese Communist Party was born in the fight against the Fascist Dictatorship that ruled the country until 1974.

      Didn’t go down so well and a number of them walked back on it but the official position of the party is still vague and I’ve heard some of them parrot Russian propaganda points once in a while.

      Their political beliefs are a collection of really old slogans rather than a thinking ideology so they’re basically brainless muppets and hence their long-running mindless love for Russia was easy to exploit by Putin’s Regime.

      Mind you, when the invasion started I also saw some of the old people in the small leftwing party I’m in instinctively side with Russia (leftwingers in Portugal during the Fascist days were heavily inspired by the Soviet Union hence the older one tend to instinctively side with Russia), but at least those I could convince away from that position (by for example pointing out the similarities with America invading Iraq and hence that being against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was the only consistent position with being against America’s invasion of Iraq) - those people are in a leftwing party other than in the Communist Party exactly because they’re not into authoritarianism and mindless following of Party dictums so they’re actually thinking lefties rather than merely slogan parrots.

        Given the current jingoist ambiance, “Russian propaganda” is probably merely being pacifist.

        The left wing in my country is saying we’ve been told for the last 2 decades that we have no money for hospitals and now they want us to buy fighter planes

          Oh no, these guys are really old fashioned Marxist-Leninists and at some point they even admitted to being Stalinists.

          They’re not the thinking kind of Lefties who might just be against war out of principle, they’re just heavily indoctrinated types in a very specific prepackaged ideology that claims to be Leftwing - basically they’re "Left"wing MAGAs.

          The tankie stereotype is in fact real - rare, but real.

      Sure, mental illness is a universally human thing. I can give you an example a Polish tankie (look up Rebirth of Communism / Odrodzenie komunizmu on youtube), which is wild considering how every leftist organization here hates Putin. But I guess true internationalism means you support a fascist empire openly threatening to nuke you.

        it’s not hard to imagine that someone could believe there’s a moral binary, that they and their favorite country are on the positive site of that binary and that due to various reasons the way to handle those on the negative site of the binary has to be strict or oppressive or repressive or violent, for example because something something material conditions mean capitalists will always work against you, or something something the contradiction between our people and an autonomous region cannot be solved with peaceful and harmonious measures

        or if you seek revolution then obviously that is going to get violent, and because your revolution cannot be compromised you must use the strongest force and control to keep the revolution from being hijacked from the inside and turned against itself. your revolutionary purpose hasn’t been achieved yet, obviously you can’t loosen things just yet. in fact who knows who’s going to turn against you any day now, maybe you should be even harsher.

          i’ve met a lot of communists in person, not a single one of them acts like online communists, and they all stay off those places because they’re full of shills.
          maybe i’ve just been lucky, but people being incredibly, fascistly, pro-stalin, castro and mao… it just doesn’t make sense except for shills and contrarians.

            western marxism does place a lot of emphasis on democratizing everything, but I just think it’s not that hard to imagine that someone might have a bit of an authoritarian streak, even if they want the best for everyone. in fact wanting the best for everyone can probably justify a lot of ugly (“necessary”) ideas. also with the way the west treats socialist, communist and marxist leaders it’s not that difficult to fall into almost a left fascism, certainly a cult of personality. marxists are made into these highly alien beings, and maybe you like aliens. plus, marxist leaders were charismatic philosophers, and those are sometimes likeable traits.

      Russia Bad is the new China Bad. Once a user knows it gets attention, they’ll spam the channel relentlessly and call anyone who complains a Vatnik.

      That’s long before you get into the politics of the Putin Regime, his climb to power on the back of Shock Doctrine dismantling of the USSR, or why Bush was staring into his eyes and seeing a soul he could trust during the War on Terror. Like, everyone wants to hate on The Russians. Nobody wants to ask where the plutocrats came from or why so much Western European / US infrastructure imported during the 1990s and 00s has Cyrillic script stamped all over it.

      Nobody wants to talk about why Donald Rumsfeld was shaking Saddam Hussein’s hand back in the 1980s, why Bin Laden was getting glowing write ups in US news journals during the 90s, or why guys like Noriega and Bukele and Bolsonaro kept popping up across Latin America every time the locals got to community oriented.

        Russia and China being ok hinges on them being equally shit when compared to other authoritarian governments? Someone has some low standards.

        I agree, all of the countries you described are horrible. I feel this wasn’t your intended takeaway, I guess you should’ve compared Sweden to Russia or, maybe Canada… but then your argument would’ve fallen apart, so I get it.

          They’re wildly different places, governmented by entirely different systems. But American plutocrats hate them, so we all get an endless earful about how they’re nations run by savages.

          all of the countries you described are horrible
