Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Okay first of all this is fucked, we're seeing the media rally around a literal neo-nazi because it makes them not enemies in the eyes of the current administration. And ALSO it's fucked how all the comments on rt are antisemitic as fuck, I seriously expected better from a news source standing against anglo imperialism.
It may be opposing US imperialism, but modern-day Russia is still right-wing and reactionary as hell. I imagine RT also attracts chuds who support Russia to own the libs.
Right. Putin is a right wing jackass, and he has solid support in no small part precisely because of this.
Step 1: USSR dismantled itself, USA claims victory over communism.
Step 2: The USA shock doctrines Russia
Step 3: USA puts thumb on the scale of Russian elections so the neoliberal doctrine can continue
Step 4: Russia elects strong man with promises to make Russia Great Again, strong man creates oligarchy
Step 5: New cold war between 2 reactionary nationalist oligarchies
Shit fuckin sucks
Stalin was right yet again
You shouldn't expect better from rt. Don't let the accusations of libs fool you, we don't stand by modern Russia in pretty much all but a couple of things and that's because it's a better net result overall. It's still a generally very right wing government and reactionary behavior has been encouraged for a long while now.
The comments on rt are always fucked.
You're not kidding. idk why I expected more from them.
Tbh idk why you did either RT is not a vibe and I think it's posted here too often
They're a mixture in my experience. You have the extreme reactionaries who are biting their tongues not to scream about their admiration of historical fascists (or sometimes not and just saying it) talking up nonsense, you have anti-imperialist leftists in some smaller quantity but more commonly found on the more intelligent opinion pieces that are anti-imperialist in nature, and you have some liberals.
As far as I’m concerned, Russia is only anti-american in the sense that they think Russia should take America’s shoes.
russia and america are brotherly people but in the worst sense
Russia isn't looking to coup and terrorize the entire world
if they could, they would
We all saw this coming, the only ones who are shocked are libs who are susceptible to our ideas, the rest will pompously ignore the real reasons why any of this is happening.
