Many on the Latte Left facilitated this new era of fascist censorship. Remember when people didn't care that folks who were accurately assessing the situation between Ukraine and Russia were targeted and silenced?

You lost me at "Russian Special Military Operation in Ukraine." You can just call it what it is... an invasion.

And if you think "the left" in the US is so powerful that it could have made any kind of dent in the narratives surrounding Russia's invasion of Ukraine I have to call bullshit.

When it comes to war, the two parties are always in agreement. There's way too much Lockheed and friends money ensuring bombs are going to decimate foreign land for any other outcome. The two sides were in total agreement when deciding to start the Ukrainian coup in 2014. Pretty nuts how Russia gets blasted for their move, while the US overthrowing the government and installing a hand picked "president" is consistently glossed over, don't you think?

And that's the left's fault how?

They are one of the two sides, so they're complicate in unnecessary war.

There is no "left" in formal, establishment politics - none. Formal establishment politics is fundamentally right-wing - therefore, blaming the actions of political establishments on any left is inane.

While you're correct, this alt-right tard is clearly talking about US dems, liberals, and progressives. He doesn't understand the words he's using but we can understand his intent.

That being said, even when we focus on his intent and not the specific terms he used, he's still an idiot parroting disinformation

Well obviously in a first past the post system there are only two options, so we have to vote for the blue war-mongers, lest the red-warmongers win. This is the narrative that is pushed every single election by many "on the left."
