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.
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.

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.
