The opposite of western bootlicking is not Russian bootlicking.
The irony of this is that not being a western bootlicker does automatically make you a Russian bootlicker, according to the people complaining about the "tankie triad".
Wow, practically in the same breath as asking me to believe Putin's "de-nazification".
Oh, so turns out you can deny genocides then? Oh right, only if it's not the west making the accusation.
So you think you really want to argue Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine, all the warcrimes Russians are pulling, and you're gonna defend that by saying Russians are the heroically invading Ukraine to save Ukraine?
Guess you haven't yet understood the essence of Russian propaganda; deny and obfuscate, never actually answer anything.
Anyone actually engaging with any Russian propaganda knows it breaks down at the slightest touch.
I don't want to take up the whole page with this, so I'll just list the sub-headers;
Prohibited weapons, Abduction and deportation, Attacks on civilians, Unlawful wanton destruction or appropriation of property, Attacks on hospitals and medical facilities, Destruction of energy infrastructure, Destruction and theft of cultural heritage, Torture of civilians, Use of human shields, Sexual violence, Looting, Forced conscription, Mistreatment of prisoners of war, Genocide

We all know Ukraine is the good side. They may have some baddies on their side (one battalion of crazy fucks), but Russia has way more companies filled with rapists, thieves, murderers taken out of prisons and shipped to the front.
Kindly fuck of to the front lines to feed the drones so we don't need to hear from you anymore.

No, I just wanted to demonstrate that their principle of "you must believe vexatious genocide accusation" only seems to apply to ones made by the West.
Anyway, nice essay, but given it's unrelated to the point, I'm not reading it.
Less than a third of a page. ~150 words. "Essay." Russian reading skills have really gone down since Tolstoy, apparently.
Thanks for that comment though, it exemplifies why people should stay away from lemmy.ml.
"Oh my government disappears people, attacks civilians, hospitals, destroys cultural heritage, rapes, and forcefully relocates children? I'mma pretend I didn't see that."
That's so inhumane and disgusting it turns my stomach.
