That would apply to the left as well.

Wagner Invades Russia

When was that? Was it a free election? Was it known back then that he would be a dictator?
Yes, so tis best to avoid ambiguous politically
loaded terms that suggest something inaccurate.
I read in War's Dark Shadow like 30 or 40 years ago. Those poor Russians are used to living lean whether they wanted to or not.
Some here argue against it, but I observe
that Russians have a culture of submission
to government.
Do you think the election was rigged?
If so, based upon what evidence?

You have left authoritarian/right authoritarian, and left libertarian/right libertarian.
Maybe the political compass should've been a cube instead of a square - add a third axis.
I question the kind of mentality it takes to find entertainment in events that could lead to further bloodshed among innocents and potentially the loss of tens of thousands more lives.
The civil wars in Syria, Libya, and Sudan have killed hundreds of thousands of civilians and displaced millions. Anyone who relishes a similar scenario anywhere instead of, at best, seeing it as an unavoidable evil seems to me to have a mentality that's not much better than that of Putin's supporters and apologists.
A problem is that liberals are fond of using
"right wing fascism", but eschew "left wing fascism".
It seems they're trying to reinforce their echo chamber.
I don't trust any of Russia's elections to be free, but I don't know which election was being referenced in the post I responded to. I would need to know that before making a more definitive comment.
I don't trust them either.
But we cannot presume that Russians
don't willingly vote for violent dictatorial
invaders.
Even here in USA, many voters are pro
invasion....by us, not by Russia. And our
elections are free, despite what MAGAs
say.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
A two party dictatorship.
I don't know that it is so inaccurate as to not be useful in describing things.
Both ends have their liberty and oppression.

Wonder where Wagnor is getting the ammo?
The extremist minorities with loud voices on either side.
Russia. Where they got all their gear.
The problem arrives when lefties call
all authoritarian regimes "right wing".
"Right" is redundant in one sense,
but the opposite in another.
It adds nothing...except sanctimony by
those who like demonizing conservatives.
There's lines for toilet paper, not bullets.
I agree with that.
