You are literally proving my point. You refuse to engage with any facts that go against the narrative of “Russia bad” while using a slur in an attempt to discredit me.

Also, it’s ridiculous to imply that just because I understand something, that means I support it. As usual, the anti-communist resorts to lies and slander.

I'm refusing to engage with "facts" that are false. Russia is currently engaging in a genocidal war of aggression. They are bad.

Also, it’s ridiculous to imply that just because I understand something, that means I support it.

That's what I'm saying. I'm not saying you're a tankie because you're parroting false Russian propaganda talking points, I'm just saying I understand why people are saying that you are one. You know, the exact same thing that you're doing where you're trying to mask your support of Russia by saying you don't support it, but you do understand it.

Also, it’s ridiculous to imply that just because I understand something, that means I support it.

I don't disagree with this. I disagree with your assertion that you understand the reasons for the war.

while using a slur

  1. Tankie is not a slur.
  2. I didn't call you a tankie.

You should do more investigation, because your understanding of the facts does not align with reality. I recommend starting with Michael Parenti's "Manufacturing Consent" to understand how western media has shaped your worldview and understanding of history.
