I've also yet to see any anti-LGBTQ insults from any of these channels

Right? It's been really nice actually. Makes me even more annoyed when Russia does it. You have Medvedev write a real banger harshly criticizing the West, and you agree with him 99% in terms of geopolitical analysis, but then for some unfathomable reason he goes and adds some stupid quip about LGBT people which is totally uncalled for and unrelated to what the piece was about. Why? Why, Russia, do you have to be so cringe sometimes? Just be more like Iran or China please!

    Lmao, that's very true, a lot of Russian commentators and analysts target the right leaning crowd, so we're left dodging anti-woke bullshit and casual slurs. Some of them are still worth listening to, but it really puts the 'critical' in critical support.

    Honestly I can only view modern Russia as a painful reminder that the revolution was ultimately betrayed. I keep wanting to poke it with a stick like "cmon, do something, become the USSR again" sigh

    I appreciate that they're helping dismantle western hegemony at least.
