yeah this is a good reason why no one takes you serious
I'll continue to speak the truth in spite of your idiocy
Putin: I hate Lenin, he advocated for Ukrainian identity too much, I'm gonna do decommunization even more thorough than you guys
Eastern European reactionaries and western libs: omg Putin is literally trying to resurrect communist USSR, remove all the Lenin statues and WW2 memorials!!!!
Imagine thinking the USSR a***ogy has anything to do with communism
Imagine thinking the USSR a***ogy has anything to do with communism
It does when dumbass Americans think Russia is still communist
Imagine thinking the USSR a***ogy has anything to do with communism
Imagine thinking me comparing an apple to an orange has anything to do with apples and oranges
The Soviet Union was big and had Russians
Thus, Putin is making the Soviet Union. I am smart

Think he means territory wise my man

Why not use the Russian empire
Entirely different organization of territory (more relatable to Purim’s conditions) with the same borders
"You wanna see decommunization? I'll show you decommunization
"
Give an inch they always take a mile
Russia is trying to be the Soviet Union again, that’s what this war is about
Nah they going for tsarist russia
Modern russia is trying to be the Russian empire and failing badly
It managed to do the poverty and getting on everyone else's nerves part fine

I don’t really understand this constant allegation that Putin is trying to resurrect the Russian empire. Just seems like weird attempts at pathologizing political behavior. Even Dugin doesn’t really talk about the Russian empire as much as he does strategic geopolitics

TBF it may not be a direct resurrection but he regularly harkens to imperial rhetoric

putin "hates" lenin not because of ukraine. he's just using him for that chauvinistic narrative that ukraine is russia and it was artificially made up by lenin. same with crimea and khrushchev. nobody means communism by resurrecting ussr. just bloated and stillborn empire bullshit
lenin didn't advocate for ukraine like that and ukrainians don't f*** with him like heavy. but you can once again cite his crocodile tears memoirs like you don't know what actually happened there

because ussr was the most recent. and ukrainians remember f***ed up s*** of that era pretty well

So it’s just kneejerk reactionary bullshit and not an actual a***ysis of the conditions of the war
Got it

I agree there's imperialist rhetoric but not everything needs an arbitrary historical touchstone

True

you ain't emitting any decent a***ysis of this war either
ukraine is pretty conservative country, but implying that they are reactionaries 'cause several genocides ain't fitting alright with them is really weird

Several genocides?

Because Russian state media and his own speeches imply influence
