it’s been pretty funny watching all the people who were howling about Russia’s inevitable loss suddenly having to confront reality. every few months I check in on r/ukraine to get a read on their cope levels
Hating Russia has become the whole identity for lot of these people. I think that the whole Russiagate conspiracy hoax should be studied as an absolutely masterful piece of social engineering. It forever linked Russia with the election of Trump in the minds of liberals, and all visceral hate they feel for Trump is directly transplanted onto Russia for free. These two things have now become equivalent and interchangeable in the liberal mind.
It also creates an easy release valve to alchemically convert frustration with our grinding, decaying status quo into racism. All that institutional rot of late capitalism? Yeah, it was the Asiatics actually.
