                Oh they know already. Those Nazis who support the USA and those who oppose it, both groups know full well.

                    Hold on. Wait a sec. What do you mean? Do you think Ukraine isn’t crawling with Nazis or what? You can’t possibly be still on last spring’s yank war propaganda?

            You claim to be a Marxist, yet you deepthroat the boots of NATO and the fascist Maidan regime. And people call us redfash.

              Lmao sure. Keep simping for the dictator that literally locked up Pussy Riot and LGBTQ folks for existing. Your projection and false concern bullshit doesn’t work for people with more than two neurons to rub together.

                    I don’t know why you think opposing America’s forever wars equals claiming that their targets are perfect utopias. The US literally has over 20% of the world’s prison population working as slaves for private profit. Why do you libs always try to use the gays to push your far right agendas? A few comments ago you were calling people homophobic slurs. smh

              LMFAO sure, sure sure. Totally coherent. You fucking clown. You think this is bad, just wait until the API is depreciated, till Apollo shuts down, till the NSFW subs are driven out. It brings me nothing but joy to see you losers drowned out and chased out of your cesspool as the next Eternal September sets in.
