I have no special love for Russia (although some of it seems pretty cool...pardon the pun), but the utter hatred the powers that be managed to whip up in the left in such a short amount of time is deeply disturbing.
And it's true on both side - muh both sides! - although seems much, much worse on the left.
I think it's just an aspect of our atomized, digitized world now, and the clever manipulations of evil fuckers who have learned to take advantage of that. And the absolute fucking cultish behavior of hivemind leftoid communists.
But, as with a lot of this shit, a bunch of the cultists are young.
Which is especially confusing because the people so adamantly against US imperialism (which, although I'm no fan of US imperialism, it's worth noting that the people against it were also brainwashed) are suddenly for involvement in Ukraine.
And these American leftist cultists hate Russia significantly more than they do the US itself.
Russia is a kleptocracy, not nationalist. And if it was pro-white, they wouldn’t have dumped hundreds of thousands of white men into the meat grinder of war. Just because globohomo (Ukraine) is fake and gay doesn’t make Russia magically based.
Globohomo sees them as an obstacle to their Ukraine agenda, nothing more
But it shouldn't be surprising. Hatred for a rival nation is part of nationalism.
Where the left fucks it all up is it the other part of nationalism is a sense of pride and superiority about your own country. I'm not sure "Russia is evil, just a different kind of evil and a worse evil than our own historically evil United States" is the rallying cry they think it is.
They're not nationalists, though, and they don't hate Russia because they're a rival.
Heck, they have sympathy for all the US's other rivals, pretty much. And I don't even fault them for that, as such, as I personally would like friendlier relations with everyone, including our rivals, as that is preferable to war.
They can justify all sorts of terrible things - as an example, although the 'Hamas supporter' label is way overused, there are legitimate Hamas supporters - but then they hate Russia for an action that most other countries also engage in, to one degree or another.
They hate Russia more for having what should have been a brief war on their own boarder, then they hate the US for fucking up the Middle East for decades and decades. Or even more than Israel. Their hatred of Russia is not rational, is my point. By their own arguments, they should hate Israel more; "genocide" seems a lot worse than "imperialism," but somehow their trained hatred of Russia still manages to overtake the Israel stuff in sheer 'frothing at the mouth' hatred. And then they just start babbling about Ukrainian Democracy and Sovereignty and shit.

The "hate on tap" is getting wild.
People tune into the news (or reddit) to see what to direct their hate at this week.

Leftists replace god with the state. Mankind naturally craves religion - without one, many will invest that same fervor into some replacement for god.
Are you aware of the concept of "two minutes of hate"?
It reminds me of the Two Minutes of Hate in 1984.
It's not quite new. It's reigniting Cold War memories for anyone over 45ish.

Because Russia is nationalist, white, anti-gay, and Christian. It’s everything the leftist coalition hates all rolled into one entity.
Fair enough. That is a really good point. A lot of the Russian qualities make it inherently hateable by leftists.
I suppose in that light, it's actually maybe more surprising they didn't hate it earlier. I suppose they just weren't told to hate it yet.

You could say it didn't end and only took a break while they reorganized the Evil Empire.
The NPC meme is real. Overnight they stopped caring about muh climate change and destroying Teslas.

Is that you, Umberto?
2 minutes a day is all it takes.
