    Why? People here are generally against oppression and colonization.

    Unless you’re larping that wanting to stop the Palestinians from getting genocided is “Russian propaganda against America”.

      Nah, there is legitimately a ton of braindead campism on here masquerading as “leftism.” The weirdly vocal support for Hamas (not just the plight of Palestinians, I literally have seen people say they will “write in Hamas” in the US election) is just the most recent iteration. Previously it was simping for Russia. For a while it was praising the Taliban.

      It’s always something. Usually weird purity tests, but rarely actual engagement with academic socialism
