    Dubya had some amazing stuff to say about the guy if you want to play waddabouts.

    Much like Reagan and Saddam Hussein. They were friends until they weren’t

      Oh good, yeah seems like a very similar trajectory to Saddam 🙄 I’m sure palling around with DJT in the back of a presidential vehicle was the moment Russia forever transitioned to brave resistance fighters against US imperialism and strong LGBTQ allies.

      Look Weevil I generally enjoy your takes but this is just such a dumb hill to die on. You don’t even get 社会信用体系 for simping for Russia on the internet, you don’t even need it. If you’re straight you can just move there. We do it all the time. Diving in front of stray bullets for any government in a comment section is just kind of sad

        If you’re straight you can just move there.

        There’s this fascination, online, with selling your house and your car and quitting your job and converting your life savings to a new currency and kissing your parents goodbye so you can relocate to a country you once said “This place isn’t as bad as the trolls on the internet said it was” to… prove a point?

        I’ll never understand the urge. But apparently all of you people have done it and now you just post from somewhere in Scandinavia or Argentina or Qatar, encouraging other people to do the same.

          Oh is that what you think I was recommending? That you move to Russia? You’re right, I probably buried my meaning there a little deep. Funny though that through all this you gathered that despite my shit talk I’ve managed to leave the states and was actually trying to sell you on going to Russia. Obviously in condescending like I did I lost you and that’s on me. My bad.

            “Pick up and leave” is such a popular advice / prediction / threat that I assumed more people were doing it.

            Y’all wouldn’t just be spouting off nonsense to score rhetorical points on the internet, right?

              Nah dude. My intentions to go anywhere are not for disclosure on the internet. I just talk shit on the worst people fucking up the planet right now because so far it’s free to do so. Sorry I badmouthed one of your special little guys while I was talking about how awful my own country has gotten.
