    He’s talking about the tankies that keep defending a fascist regime with a colonialist imperialistic mindset. My prediction is that either they are raging homophobes themselves like papa Stalin or they will ignore it.

      There’s also the bizarre phenomena of “leftist” people who support Russia, Iran, etc.

      I was on a date once (gay) and he would shit-talk the US, Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, etc. for being capitalistic. Then in the same breath, talk about how he wanted to go to Iran and Russia.

      I honestly didn’t know what to say.

        Lol, wanting to go to a country that is happy to persecute you for who you are… That’s warped.

          Yeah it seems to be a series of fallacies like,

          Conservatives hate gays, so conservatives are bad. Conservatives love capitalism, so capitalism is bad. The west is mostly capitalistic, so I hate the west. The west sanction Iran and Russia, so they must be good.

          I think it’s better to draw the line at hating controlling abusive people, rather than geopolitical boundaries.
