Can't wait for one of the tankies on lemmy to chime in

Why? People here are generally against oppression and colonization.

Unless you're larping that wanting to stop the Palestinians from getting genocided is "Russian propaganda against America".

Nah, there is legitimately a ton of braindead campism on here masquerading as "leftism." The weirdly vocal support for Hamas (not just the plight of Palestinians, I literally have seen people say they will "write in Hamas" in the US election) is just the most recent iteration. Previously it was simping for Russia. For a while it was praising the Taliban.

It's always something. Usually weird purity tests, but rarely actual engagement with academic socialism
