      Apparently OP thinks that the left-wing Chapo Trap House listeners all like Putin because obviously Putin’s totally a Communist because he’s Russian, right?

      And whatever server the CTH listener is on voted to federate with another server that’s spewing pro-Putin propaganda.

      Basically, like most right-wingers, OP doesn’t understand the difference between a Marxist and a redwashed capitalist like Putin and think it’s a bunch of fucking tankiers (authoritarian left wingers) because of said lack of understanding.

        Tankies love Putin almost as much as they love China. Their excuse is that as an enemy of the US he can basically do nothing wrong, and they regurgitate his propaganda on a daily basis. Chapotraphouse is a bunch of tankies as tankie as the members of lemmygrad or lemmy.ml.

        Chapos just loves to gaslight, and generally behave on the internet like they have learnt everything they know from the_donald.

          "Capitalism works!!

          Wait, why are there children working in slaughterhouses, unions being busted, massive corporate greed, and a bunch of dipshits on the internet that don’t know the difference between communism and capitalism and that said oligarchs are the direct result of Russia being a capitalist country with a thin layer of commie propaganda smeared on it to make old people happy, the same way the Republican party uses MUH GUNS and MURICA to keep idiots voting for them?"

              No reasonable person should be pro-capitalist. It’s literally throwing away your labor for a fraction of its worth just so a small group of people can live in a type of luxury you will never even be able to imagine.

                  Hint: If you have a small group of people living in luxury off the backs of the labor of others, you do not have communism. You have authoritarianism.

            You do realise that all of these things also happen in Communist states? also most of your examples are from just one third-world country, most of the modern, first world has unions and labour laws.

                Keep this attitude of constantly attacking people across all communities and instances, and you’ll get banned from this one. Be nice. Everyone is being kind to you, be kind back.

              Wow, almost like people that want power are shitty and should never be trusted regardless of what bullshit -ism they espouse.

              Really makes you think.

              Well… makes most people think.

              Some people, anyway.

        Nah the people on Hexbear believe a ton of what they say, I tried joining it years ago because of their conenction to Chapo Trap House, and got attacked for saying China is genociding Uyghurs and left with just about every other more “normal” socialist (Bernie sanders types). That was before Russia invaded Ukraine and I’m sure they think Putin is the best thing since sliced bread.

        They are genuine sentiments. Have you not seen the rest of the posts on this community?

        Does this comment of yours not apply here?

        Just check their comment history for like 30 seconds. Everyone makes a joke that misses the mark every now and then, but the shittiest people usually constantly spew their nonsense.
