Although I always keep in mind that no matter how logical socialism is to me, to a lot of people it's still conflated with the "Red Scare" propaganda. And with the Ukrainian situation being so murky and also the subject of "Red Scare" TYPE of propaganda, I could easily see it happening.

I mean normally sane posters wind up ignoring or making an exception for the Ukrainian government's fostering of open fascists in positions of power simply because they are against Putin and the Russian Federation. It's one of those situations that seems to have hardened positions all around and people wind up talking past each other rather than to each other.
