This is very interesting to me because I always considered the Ukraine War to be the type of thing you can only see the truth behind if you already have a leftist mindset. I never thought of it as something that could be the trigger point.
This I guess is my own myopic personal experience thing though. Since I’ve found it to be the thing that liberals (and leftist ultras) are most unshakable on. I mean the amount of [palestine flag/ukraine flag] you see on social media alone lol.
Well the place I was on previously can probably be pretty well described as “What if Hexbear was rabidly pro West in geopolitics?”, so it was already pretty leftist.
It wasn’t just the Nazi symbols though, it was also stuff like allowing Russians to be called Orcs, having a neocon splinter group fester away in a specific thread pretty much unmoderated (who later on all got banned for predictable reasons), posting pure propaganda and completely forgetting about the “reputable sources” rule, while ignoring all negative news from said “reputable sources”, etc.
Some users also got really mad about the “tankies” in certain threads. It’s always funny to me to see how close they really are to being “tankies” themselves. All it would take is having some skepticism over the Western narrative, and before you know it…

Ah, cool to see that someone can break out of being a NATO leftist lol. Ive only seen people get stuck there.
