First of all, I'm not your "brother in Christ". I stopped believing in fairy tales as a child.
I also don't feel any kinship to gaslighting idiots who can't tell the difference between tankies and, to use myself as an example, anti-authoritarian pacifists who just want regular people to be given a chance to thrive and not be ground under the heels of the mighty.
Russia is a fascist theocracy and anyone who calls themselves a leftist while supporting fascism, theocracy, or both, is either an idiot, a liar or both.
