Seriously, this immediately tipped me off. It’s okay to take a position of criticism (instead of critical support) of the Russian government, hell, even of Russian overall culture, considering there’s plenty of reactionary sentiment in Russia (a product of the material conditions brought on by the fall of the USSR). But how on earth do these people feel justified in dehumanizing 200M+ people, and painting whoever doesn’t do that as an extremist?
