I don’t give a fuck what you believe, tankie fuck. Your concern trolling while simping for a country and dictator that literally imprisons people like me will never not be obvious, meaningless hypocritical trolling. You christofascist Putinists all give actual communists a bad name. Marx would be ashamed.

Where have I been simping? I'm just telling the truth here and you're balling crying all over your keyboard because you can't handle reality.

What even is "Putinism"? There's no such thing. You've been just trained to repeat nonsense words because you're credulous and hate filled.
