"There are no good Russians" was a quote from a Democratic congressman in the furor of the early war hysteria. The fact that Facebook and Instagram explicitly allowed violent speech against ethnic Russians, not simply just soldiers spoke fucking volumes.

As for 10/7, I consider it proof positive that my "Buy A Galil" mantra was right, and a jew-hating wing of the Left was going to rear it's head back into the fray. I just didn't think they'd do it so suddenly. "There are no civilians in Israel" and "Yes, the children who are settlers are combatants" threw me off. There was no more bleeding heart. The Islamist Left were proud of atrocities, and the Communists just rolled with it. No apologies, and only the smallest denialsim. I didn't expect "Killing civilians is a moral necessity" with such little prompting, on such a wide scale, and I think it caused a lot of jewish Leftists to shit their pants. And, as I said at the time, I think that in the long-term, unwavering American support of Israel is fucking dead, and Israel just saw why. I fully expect Leftists to start screaming "Hitler was right about jews" within the next 10-20 years.

I get why the Ayatolah just killed all of the Leftist revolutionaries as soon as he got into power (and frankly I think that's where the real animosity with Iran comes from). Leftists are quite fickle allies.
