    Russian propaganda about France doesn’t belong in this community

      Russian propaganda is very often exactly the same as Republican propaganda, which is also American.

          No, I’m staying in this case Russia speaks like republican, and has the guts to go against woke movement.

          I like to see people with guts against too much leftist drama and with guts against too much right wing drama.

            I’m curious what does “woke movement” mean to you that you need Russia to be your moral guide?

              I don’t need Russia to be my moral guide. You are too religious about ideologies with your binary “pro Russia vs against Russia” way or seeing life.

              I’m non binary, or ideology fluid.

              Take some deep breath and relax.

                No, you said you admire Russia for being “anti woke”. What does that mean? I find it’s usually a dog whistle for racists and homophobes but perhaps I’ve unkindly prejudged you.

                  First, thanks for the tone of being open to listen.

                  What I mean is:

                  An American person would never have have enough room to bring a controversial opinion on taboo topics.

                  So for instance an American would not have room to challenge the pro-aboriton or usage of neopronouns (because left says it’s a taboo to go against it)

                  And also an American would not have room to go against pro- Israel snetiment (because right say it’s a taboo to go against it).

                  So it takes a non-western press to break the taboo.

                  Every civilization/people/group/country has some taboos which make them blind. And only external civilizations can challenge that.

                  I hope my answer was par with the level of trust you gave me.

                  If not, I’m sorry

                    It sounds like you’re saying Americans don’t have the freedom to voice unpopular opinions.

                    Respectfully, that’s a load of BS.

                    I hear PLENTY from people wanting to outlaw abortion or even birth control. When I say “Free Palestine” I may have to debate someone who supports ethnic cleansing, but that is the hallmark of healthy dialogue.

                    Americans don’t need to get their talking points from Russia.

                    You make a lot of assumptions of Americans and commit the same binary-choice fallacy you claim you’re against.

                    Also, just because you say topics are “taboo” does not make them so. That sounds like empty talking points. Supporting non-hetero-normative freedom of self-expression, supporting a person’s right to decision making and choice over their own bodies (and let’s be clear, there’s no such thing as “pro-abortion,” that is a propaganda marketing term much like “pro-life”), contesting open genocide and flaunting of international law and order…these are not “taboo” topics. They’re acknowledgments of basic human rights that one side has made into personal, political, and culture wars because they no actual polcies or ideas to improve things. It is absurd to label them “taboo” topics in much the same way that calling rape a taboo topic would be.

                    what the fuck are you talking about? you can advocate your view - we have freedom of speech, the government won’t stop you.

                    There’s tons of pro and anti-israeli sentiment to be found.

                    You just don’t’ want people to criticize you, and your idiotic decisions.

                    You don’t get that here. Go to russia if you want that.
