    Lenin’s 2nd Cat has the patience of a saint. No idea how they can be so tolerant of these people, but I’m glad they are, a conversation with them really helped me back when I was just starting to see the cracks in “democratic socialism”

      Yup, i remember them from Reddit, sad about the bothsiding, though it could be a rhetoric figure to not shut them out in the first sentence. But as we can seen it don’t work anyway, any deviation from the reddit hivemind (it’s not even western propaganda anymore, it goes much further than that) is immediately shut out.

        I think there is plenty to criticize about Russia’s conduct in the war, though yeah, it isn’t the sort of discussion that can be had with libs (after all, their idea about Russian conduct is just “Putin is a Voldemort”)

        But yeah, ultimately it doesn’t seem to matter how patient or tolerant someone is of libs, they will find some excuse to dismiss anyone who disagrees with the status quo, usually with their idea of “civility” being threatened (because someone else knowing something they don’t makes them feel bad, which is uncivil).
