Pretty gross. Comments every bit as awful as you’re thinking. Just a reminder of the abysmal state of non-cishet rights and acceptance in Russia.

Edit: can’t get my screenshot to load properly so text:

      Undermining American hegemony by…destabilizing a region that America benefits from being unstable? Not really the same situation. Russia is actually doing real harm to our ability to maintain a global stranglehold. That is a good thing, even if Putin is otherwise a shitty reactionary capitalist.
