    “Z’s Impact is positive” “Z is historically progressive”

    That’s so fucking ridiculous. The author should be ashamed. What Z is doing is classic imperialism. Russia felt like they had the right to invade a sovereign country simply because they wanted more cooperation with the west. So much life has been lost on both sides because of the fascistic rule of Vladimir Putin. Anyone that views him or this war positively is a disgusting fascist or too ignorant to look past Russian propaganda. Both are equally awful as they serve the same outcome - more death, more imperialism, more fascism.

    If any leftists feel an attachment to Russia because of the USSR, then stop. Russia is NOT the USSR, they’re not a socialist country, they’re not even remotely leftist. They are a capitalist oligarchy of fat-cat monopolizers. Their economy runs on oil exports that are killing the planet.

    Over a year into this conflict, you’d think it’d be obvious to everyone what’s going on. Delusional shit like this article should be heavily criticized at every opportunity.
