    As much as it’s shitty that the workers in those countries are going through this, there’s something to be said about agitation and inducing them to actually start rebelling against the ruling class.

      Which, let’s not forget, the workers of Germany, France, etc had no say in the sanctions or anything else going on. mOsT pEoPlE tHeRe aRe rUsSiOpHoBiC yeah that doesn’t matter because the bourgeoise never actually sought their approval for any of the government’s anti-Russia actions. Russiophobia or not, this wasn’t caused by them because they have no real power over the government.

      Sorry, as much as I too hate the russiophobia going on in the EU, I’m also not a fan of the suffering boners in places like Lemmygrad of “I hope every French and German freezes to death!!!1!” because one, they’re still proletariats and they too are the victims of the Western imperial machinery, and two things like this could be an opportunity to deprogram them from the propaganda and actually get some class consciousness going, but only if we don’t needlessly antagonize them just because we’re salty.
