I won’t give too many details because this internet interaction is deeply unserious, but I made a YouTube comment taking a jab at Trump, and someone responded to me with “Oh, yeah, but Biden’s not any better about this, now is he?” 
I said nothing about Biden. The YouTube video had nothing to do with Biden and all about Trump. Funnily enough, I agree with the user’s comment because it’s correct, but he feels inclined to state it under the assumption that I don’t agree with it.
I’m somewhat shocked because I thought that, at this point, especially with Joe Biden being constantly criticized by the left for condoning genocide, people would stop using this tired, old WHATABOUTISM, but I guess YouTube comments have a very fucking low bar for this kind of shit.
Also, this person called Biden left-wing in his comment, so…
“No I don’t support the US, I just believe them about all their rivals”
Are we not against Putin in principle despite whatever progressive impact Russia may have internationally?
Critical support? On my Hexbear?!
We are (or I am) against Putin with the acknowledgement that Putin is likely a moderating force for Russian ultra-conservative nationalism, he is a liberal after-all. The fact of the matter is that the Russian Communist party has been thoroughly cut off from government and is mostly tailing Putin right now. You can be anti-Putin if you want, but any likely successor will be no more progressive.
I mean ultimately yeah we definitely have criticisms, but the anti Putin libs that come on here never raise them, they just repeat state department propaganda.
