I am very left wing and still am to this day, I would say I'm a democratic socialist.

Growing up I never understood the hate for Russia (after the USSR) but then Russia started invading places similar to Hitler's appeasement method, seemly trying to restore the USSR.

Everyone I ever met that lived under Soviet rule has extreme hatred for Soviet union and Russian. And tend to be right wing... Which I never understood why. I feel like you made me understand them a bit more (I still think they are a bit crazy).

Thank you for helping you relate to thoses I see as crazy a bit better.

I am no longer replying.

I wish you the best and well wishes.
