In response to another racist trying to dismiss Putin’s pointing out how the West is sympathetic to Nazis as “boomer nonsense”

This doesn’t surprise me. While it is true that some neofascists like Putin, many others despise him, nicknaming him ‘Jewtin’ and accusing him of being a closeted homosexual.
Yeah, the way they were posting pictures of Putin with rainbow colors, lipstick, etc was pretty gross. It’s like they are incapable of introspection.
They say, “I support LGBT rights, see my flag? I was making fun of Putin because HE’S homophobic, not me! Posting this has no reflection on MY thoughts about homosexuals!”
Meanwhile, these jokes contain the same homophobic and transphobic content they were using to oppress others only 10 years ago (if even that long.) It’s the same as when they call Russians “orcs” and Xi “Winnie the Poo”, but swear it’s not racism.
These people are just waiting for excuses to spew their hatred in a context where others won’t call them out on it because it’s socially acceptable among their peers. They long for the “good ol’ days” and “don’t see color” while denying the impact of white supremacy and their complicit participation.
I hadn’t seen the “Jewtin” one before. That’s even more mask-off.
Pretty sure those were posted with claims of being banned in Russia, so it was a russophobic version of the “tiny man square” copy pasta
And then they’ll really sit there and wonder why people like me refuse to cede them trust or brotherhood. I see shit like what they do to Putin, to Jinping, to Jong Un, and all I can think is, “if Kwame Ture existed in this day and age, y’all’d be pushing a photomanip of him as a gorilla, wouldn’t you? If Sankara was still with us, you’d have rendered him as a chimpanzee in a French beret, wouldn’t you? Don’t tell me you wouldn’t, you do it to EVERYONE you consider an enemy.”
These are not allies worth having. They aren’t even neighbors worth having.
So basically reddit.
