    Anyone who praises Xi Jingping, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and <insertAuthoritarianMurdererHere> as hard as I routinely see on lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad is an awful person and deserves derision, contempt, and distrust. They can call themselves a “leftist”, “socialist”, “communist”, or a whatever-ist. Fundamentally, they’re edgelord bootlickers and temporarily inconvenienced dictators-in-waiting.

    “wHaTaBoUt USA, iSrAeL, nAtO, etc.?”

    You can hate “The West”, their people, their foreign policy, and their economics.

    Doesn’t mean you should suck dictators’ dicks because they’re “not The West”.

        How is that homophobic? There’s no mention of the gender of the bootlicking edgelords.

        You don’t have to be a man to suck dick.

          I’m pretty sure there’s some homophobic roots in there. But that aside, why would anyone use cock sucking as an insult? Doing that would only discourage cock sucking, and who in their right mind would want less cock sucking in the world. Makes no sense.

      Liberals keep telling me to support the lesser evil in elections, but when I apply that to geopolitics they get mad…
